Somali Islamists hunt supertanker pirates
MOGADISHU |
MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Heavily armed Islamists went to Haradheere port on Friday in search of the pirate group behind the seizure of a Saudi Arabian supertanker that was the world's biggest hijack, a local elder said.
"The Islamists say they will attack the pirates for hijacking a Muslim ship," the elder, who asked not to be named, told Reuters by telephone from Haradheere, where the Sirius Star and its $100 million oil cargo is believed anchored offshore.
