NAIROBI (Reuters) - Pirates hijacked three Thai fishing vessels in the Indian Ocean during the weekend, a Kenyan maritime official said on Tuesday.
"This was in the Indian Ocean but far away from east coast of Africa," said Andrew Mwangura, coordinator of the East African Seafarers' Assistance Programme. "This is the farthest hijacking to date. They are now operating near the Maldives and India."
