The head of the East African Seafarers' Assistance Program says Somali pirates have hijacked an American-owned tugboat with 16 crew in the Gulf of Aden.
Andrew Mwangura says maritime industry sources told him that the
Italian-flagged boat was towing two barges.
Mwangura's report could not immediately be confirmed with U.S.,
Italian or other government officials.
Mwangura says it was unclear if the attack took place off
Somalia or further north near Yemen. He says he did not know what
was on the barges.
Mwangura says the attack was launched around 11 a.m. (0800 GMT)
Saturday. An American captain who thwarted the takeover of the
U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama by giving himself up as a hostage was
still being held Saturday on a lifeboat being watched by two U.S.
warships.
