尼日利亚当局继续寻找被海盗在几内亚湾绑架的两名美国男子。
星期三,一艘悬挂美国国旗的油轮在尼日利亚沿海的国际水域遭到海盗袭击,船长和轮机长被绑架。
这艘68米长的油轮属于美国的爱迪生·古斯特海运公司。该公司没有对目前的局势发表评论。
美国官员说,这艘油轮和其他船员被海盗释放。不清楚两名被绑架的美国人目前是在海上,还是被带上岸。
尼日利亚军方已经下令展开搜救行动。有关官员拒绝说明美国军方是否参与行动。
美国国防部官员说,正在密切关注局势,并说距离事发地点最近的美国军队是几内亚湾的一支海军陆战队训练部队。
Nigerian authorities are continuing their search for two American men kidnapped by pirates off the Gulf of Guinea.
The captain and chief engineer of a U.S.-flagged oil supply vessel were taken Wednesday during an attack in international waters off the coast of Nigeria.
The 68-meter C-Retriever is owned by the U.S. oil servicing company Edison Chouest Offshore, which has not commented on the situation.
U.S. officials say the vessel and the rest of its crew were released by the pirates. It is not clear if the American men are still at sea or were taken to land.
The Nigerian military has ordered a search and rescue operation. Officials have refused to say whether the U.S. military is also involved.
U.S. defense officials say they are monitoring the situation, noting that the closest U.S. military contingent is a Marine Corps training unit in the Gulf of Guinea.
