Tension in hijacked cargo ship off Somalia


A cargo ship carrying arms that was heading for Kenya was hijacked off the coast of Somalia and tension increased on the ship as the Somali officials insisted the American Navy to send its commandos to save the ship that carried large supply of arms, battle tanks, grenade launcher and ammunition that was supplied for the Kenyan army.

The pirates are demanding for $20 million in cash ransom to release the ship and 20 crew members have been held by the pirates.
