I heard that the Somalians captured a giant oil tanker holding about
100 Million USD worth of crude.

any updates?

Last I heard and Indian warship blew up one of the pirate vessels. *Don't

From what I gather, the tankers only have about a 20 man crew with pop

room on one of those tankers for better equipped professionals and a
budget to safeguard a hundred mil. cargo.
