News from MRI's Oman representative based in Salalah -
Four Americans sailing on a yacht off the coast of Oman have been taken hostage by Somali pirates. The S/V Quest, owned by a retired couple, was hijacked 240 nautical miles (275 miles) off Oman on Friday afternoon. It is believed the yacht was en route from India to Oman. While pirates usually attack cargo ships, they have hijacked a number of yachts in recent years. Jean and Scott Adam, the yacht's owners, have been sailing it around the world since 2002, according to their website.
