What is happening with the hijacked oil tanker, Sirius Star; the deadline for payment is today?

I must admit it seems to have gone a bit quiet on that front and I really hope they don't give in to their demands.What is happening with the hijacked oil tanker, Sirius Star; the deadline for payment is today?
Governments don't want to pay the ransom as it then encourages more hijacks. The tanker can't be taken by force in case the terrorists blow it up resulting in an environmental disaster.





So the Saudi Government who ultimately own the tanker are waiting for the media to lose interest and then the ransom will be handed over in secrecy and the ship goes on it's way. I guess the creew will be paid ';silence'; money not to talk to the media! What is happening with the hijacked oil tanker, Sirius Star; the deadline for payment is today?
Most likely Lulu will be correct, pirates are, in a way, businessmen, so they won't do anything drastic to spoil the deal.
Considering they have the policy of not giving into these people, I should imagine some sort of special service troops will be sent to resolve the issue.
