| 2010-10-18 |
| [Iran Press TV] Somali pirates have hijacked a South Korean fishing boat with 43 sailors on board in waters off Kenya, Korea's Foreign Ministry says. The ministry said on Sunday that two South Koreans, two Chinese and 39 Kenyans were aboard the trawler when it was attacked on October 9 in the Indian Ocean off the Kenyan island of Lamu. It is still unclear if any negotiations are underway for the release of the hostages. "We are investigating the exact circumstances surrounding the incident by setting up an emergency team at our embassy in Kenya," the ministry said. This comes as another South Korean super-tanker with 24 crew members remains in pirate captivity six months after it was seized. |
