NAIROBI, April 14 (Reuters) - All 22 crew aboard a Greek-owned bulk carrier that was hijacked by Somali pirates on Tuesday are unharmed, a regional maritime group said.

The East African Seafarers' Assistance Programme said the nationalities of the sailors remained unclear. The MV Irene E.M. was seized before dawn by gunmen from Somalia in their latest attack on commercial shipping in the vital waterways. (Writing by Daniel Wallis; Editing by Jack Kimball)
