NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - The head of the East African Seafarers' Assistance Program says Somali pirates have hijacked an American-owned tugboat with 16 crew in the Gulf of Aden.
Andrew Mwangura says maritime industry sources told him that the Italian-flagged boat was towing two barges when it was attacked.
Updated information says that the vessel is Italian flagged and has no US citizens onboard.
