...And some
pirates captured their boat.
Pirates from Somalia have seized the biggest booty ever taken on the high seas, capturing a fully laden Saudi oil supertanker and its multinational crew.
The brand new Sirius Star - three times the size of an aircraft carrier and carrying its full complement of two million barrels of crude oil worth at least $US100million ($154million) - was hijacked in the early hours of Sunday, 450 nautical miles southeast of Mombasa, Kenya, according to the US Fifth Fleet.
