| Pirates have attacked an oil tanker near the West African state of Benin. It was sailing from Nigeria’s Niger Delta region when it was attacked. A crew member was killed and the contents of the ship's safe were stolen. This report from Casper Leighton. The pirates who are believed to be from Nigeria, boarded the ship in darkness after coming along side in a speed boat. It’s not clear how the crew member lost his life but it seems there was an attempt to confront the armed pirates as one of them was captured by the ship’s crew and handed to local authorities. Medics on the German owned tanker said four other crew members were injured in the attack. There is increasing concern about rising piracy off the coast of West Africa as the region grows in importance as an oil producer. |
