December 29, 2009 MOGADISHU, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Somali pirates have hijacked a UK-flagged chemical tanker sailing to Thailand from Spain, a maritime official said on Dec. 29. Andrew Mwangura of the Kenya-based East Africa Seafarers' Association said the St James Park sent out a distress signal on Monday from the Gulf of Aden and had now changed course for the Somali coast. Somali pirates told Reuters late on Dec. 28 they had hijacked another vessel but did not give any details. |
