Pirates Order U.S. Navy to Back Off
Somali pirates have seized a Japanese tanker ship filled with poisonous benzene. They have 23 hostages. A U.S. Navy ship is tailing them. The pirates have ordered the Navy to back off or else.
I post this here because losing a ship full of benzene would be a disaster worse than a ship full of oil. :(

Edit: The crew won a deadly battle to take the ship back from the pirates. [link]
Edit 2: The above edit was of a different pirated ship. The benzene-laden ship is still in danger.
