| Somali pirates have hijacked a South Korean cargo ship in the Indian Ocean. South Korean officials say the ship was traveling from the United Arab Emirates to Sri Lanka with a cargo of chemicals when it was commandeered Saturday by pirates. South Korea's Yonhap news agency quotes an official as saying the ship's current location is unclear, but that the crew seems to be unharmed. The 10,000-ton ship's crew consists of eight South Koreans, two Indonesians and 11 Burmese citizens. |
