Somali pirates charged with hijacking

Twelve suspected Somali pirates have been charged with hijacking after they allegedly attacked a Yemen oil tanker earlier this year.



Officials say the pirates were seized when authorities retook control of the vessel.



It’s reported that they attacked the vessel while it was traveling between ports in Yemen.



Officials say one of the tanker\'s crew was killed during the hijacking and a second remains missing.



The Somali hijackers are the latest suspected pirates to be brought to book in Yemen.



Earlier this month, 22 Somalis went on trial after being handed over to Yemen by international naval forces.
