Captain, crewman of SKor ship seized by Abu Sayyaf
[AFP] Suspected Abu Sayyaf rebels have kidnapped the captain and a Filipino crew member of a South Korean cargo ship in the southern Philippines.

Ten people, who reportedly identified themselves as Abu Sayyaf militants, boarded the cargo ship on Thursday and abducted its Korean captain and a local crewman. Military spokesman Filemon Tan said, "They identified themselves as Abu Sayyaf group members... We're looking into this."

The ship, a heavy load carrier called
*ahem*
Dong Bang Giant 2, was en route to South Korea from Australia when it was attacked. The vessel was allowed to continue on its course after the abductions.

Tan said the abduction marked the first time that kidnappers in the area had targeted a large ship.
