Somali Pirates Hijack Sanctioned Oil Tanker Off Yemen
Somali pirates hijacked a U.S.-sanctioned oil products tanker off Yemen and steered it toward Somalia's Puntland coast, according to a Somali maritime security official. Six armed pirates seized the M.T. Sibu 1, which was flying the Eritrean flag. This incident is part of a renewed wave of piracy in the Gulf of Aden and western Indian Ocean.
