A Malaysian oil tanker has been hijacked in the Gulf of Aden off
the coast of Somalia.
The tanker, with a crew of 39 people on
board, was heading towards Rotterdam from Dumai in Sumatra when
pirates seized control of the vessel. The head of the International
Maritime Bureau's piracy reporting center in Kuala Lumpur said it
notified Western naval ships patrolling the area and a warship has
been sent to intercept the tanker.
