US says has reports of pirates seizing its citizens

A US-flagged vessel with four US citizens onboard is believed to have been hijacked in the Arabian Sea, a spokesman for the US Embassy in Nairobi said today.

"Preliminary reports indicate that a US-flagged vessel tentatively named as the Quest has been hijacked in the Arabian Sea. There were four US citizens on board," the spokesman said.

Earlier, a regional maritime expert said the 58-foot S/V Quest had been hijacked 240 miles off Oman yesterday afternoon as it sailed from India to Salalah in Oman.
