The Somalia pirates are back at it again, capturing yet another ship off the coasts of Africa. This time, two pirate skiffs captured a Kuwait-owned oil vessel about 250 miles miles southeast of the Omani port city of Salalah, in the eastern part of the Gulf of Aden, stated the European Union Naval Force Somalia. There is still little information available based on this situation. The vessel was on its way to Singapore from Sudan when it was attacked. The most that is known is that the oil tanker carried a 29-member crew, which included 17 Pakistanis, three Jordanians, three Egyptians, two Ukrainians, one Croat, one Iraqi, one Filipino, and one Indian.
