Four hostages in Guinea pirate strike
Lagos: Container ship Hansa Marburg has been attacked and four crew kidnapped 130nm off the coast of Equatorial Guinea, operator Leonhardt and Blumberg says.

Two Ukrainians, a Russian and a seafarer from Kiribati were taken hostage when pirates boarded the Liberian-flagged vessel in the Tuesday raid. The attack followed two unsuccessful attempts on Greek-flagged oil tanker Cap Theodora.
