Korea ship reaches oil tanker taken by Somali pirates

A South Korean warship has caught up with a super-tanker that was hijacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. The South Korean foreign ministry said the destroyer had arrived in waters near the tanker and would remain at a safe distance. The 300,000-ton Samho Dream, which was on its way from Iraq to the United States, has 24 crew and is laden with crude oil.
