Spanish Fishing Boat Hijacked in Indian Ocean

Somalia — Last Friday (10/2), the Spanish fishing trawler Alakrana was hijacked by pirates in the Indian Ocean between Somalia and the Seychelles. The ship has an international crew of 36 men.

The ship is currently anchored near the Somali coast and is being monitored by a pair of warships - one Spanish and one French. On Sunday, the Spanish navy arrested two of the alleged pirates as they left the Alakrana on a small skiff.
