Somali pirates have seized a high-class dive boat operating in the Seychelles archipelago, in the Indian Ocean, officials said. A group of British tourists returning from a diving expedition narrowly avoided being kidnapped.
Kirk Green, the director of Aquatours, the London-based tour operator that books out the yacht, said that the Royal Navy had e-mailed to inform him that the vessel had been hijacked. He was told that the boat would be taken to Harardhere, a pirate stronghold north of Mogadishu and that he should expect the vessel to be held there for about three months.
