Somali pirates have hijacked a ship with its 10-member crew on its way to the Somali port of El-Maan

BBC News:

The MV Torgelow was carrying fuel and food to a UN-chartered vessel freed last week by gunmen who had held it and its cargo of food aid for three months.

The ship's owner said he was shocked by the most recent hijacking which took place on Sunday.

The International Maritime Board says there have been at least 20 attacks on ships in Somali waters since March.

It urges ships in the area to stay as far away as possible from the shore.

Somalia has had no functioning national government since 1991 and the country has been divided into fiefdoms run by rival warlords.
