According to counter-piracy officials in the European Union, Somali pirates have captured a Panamanian-flagged Liberian-owned freighter with 21 Philippine crew on board. The seizure took place 190 nautical miles southeast of Salalah in Oman. The crew radioed alert but too late for a patrolling warship to come to their rescue.
