"Pirates abduct 12 foreign sailors
LAGOS — Pirates kidnapped 12 foreign sailors off the coast of Nigeria’s restive and oil-rich southern delta during an attack that left one crew member injured, a naval spokesman said yesterday. The pirates boarded the German-flagged cargo ship BBC Palonia on Friday night off the coast of the Niger Delta. A struggle broke out during the attack and pirates shot one crew member in a leg during the fight. The crew consisted of sailors from Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, and Ukraine (AP)."
