Somali pirates hijack Saudi supertanker

Somali pirates hijacked a Saudi supertanker loaded with $100 million worth of crude oil hundreds of kilometers off the coast of East Africa.

The MV Sirius Star, a brand new tanker with a 25-member crew, was seized at about 10 a.m. Nov. 15 more than 450 nautical miles (833 km) southeast of Mombasa, Kenya, the U.S. Navy said.

The area lies far south of the zone where warships have increased their patrols this year in the Gulf of Aden, one of the busiest channels in the world, leading to and from the Suez Canal, and the scene of most past attacks. (AP)
