Pirates boarded a Liberia-flagged tanker, Monjasa Reformer, in West Africa's Gulf of Guinea on March 25 and took some of the 16-man crew hostage. The French Navy found the ship off the small island nation of Sao Tomé and Principe five days later. The nationalities of the crew members and the number of hostages are unknown. The Gulf of Guinea is the world's most dangerous spot for attacks on ships.
