17 Chinese, Ukrainian Seamen Kidnapped Off Cameroon

Nine Chinese and eight Ukrainian seamen were abducted in attacks on two merchant ships off Cameroon, in the latest act of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, sources said Friday.

A navy source said the kidnappers “are probably Nigerian pirates,” adding that Cameroon’s security forces had launched a search for them. Choong said one of the ships was a multipurpose German-owned ship that flew the flag of Antigua and Barbuda. Of the 75 seafarers taken hostage in the first half of this year, 62 were abducted in the gulf, IMB figures showed.
