[01] Skipper of Greek trawler killed by pirates off Cameroon
YAOUNDE (ANA-MPA) - The Greek skipper of a Greek fishing trawler was
killed by pirates off the coast of Cameroon on Saturday, the West
African country's state radio broadcaster announced on Monday.
According to a Reuters dispatch, some 30 armed pirates travelling in
three vessels seized the Greek fishing boat on Saturday in the Atlantic
off Kribi, south of the port of Douala, and were taking it into
international waters when a sister vessel gave chase.
The victim was identified as Theodoros Mastaloudis, who captained the
shrimp trawler. Both vessels reportedly belong to an expatriate Greek
entrepreneur.
