Somali pirates seize ship with 21 aboard
NAIROBI, Kenya — The European Union naval forces say Somali pirates have hijacked a bulk carrier with 21 crew on board.
Cmdr. John Harbour says the crew is all Filipino, and all are safe.
The Panamanian-flagged, Liberian-owned Voc Daisy was taken Wednesday morning about 200 miles (300 kilometers) before it would have reached the corridor where war ships guard convoys of merchant vessels.
