Oil Tanker Hijacked Off Coast of Gabon Officials in Gabon have reported the hijack of an oil tanker with its 20-person crew near the main port where oil is loaded for shipping to international markets. The attack was said to have been carried out early Monday. All contact is said to have been lost with the Indian crew aboard the Malta-flagged tanker, which is operated by the Turkish firm Geden Lines. The International Maritime Bureau earlier in the week warned of a "worrying surge" of attacks by pirates in the Gulf of Guinea.
