Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister says the hijacking of a Saudi oil supertanker by Somali pirates is “an outrageous act.” The MV Sirius Star was seized Saturday off the Kenyan coast and was taken to a Somali port. The tanker’s owner says the ship is fully loaded with crude – a cargo worth about $100 million. Its owners say the ship’s 25 crew members are safe.
