Super Oil tanker captured.
Super tanker Sirius star which has been carrying two million barrels of oil has benn hijacked by Smalian pirates. This is by far their riskiest move yet as they captured the ship in highly guarded areas and could have been easily found. However somehow they eluded capture and they seized the ship back to their port. The pirates have been becoming increasingly more active and have hijacked many more ships in the past mont. The also had captured a military aircraft carrier which had thirty tanks and many other sophisticated weaponary. The pirates have not been encountered yet although their base location is known. This is because they have many hostages not to mention highly sophisticated weaponary like rocket launchers and submachine guns. This has raised awarness of the area and many ships are staying out of it. The few that go have suffered the same fate as the Sirius Star.
