ROME, Italy- Italian special forces boarded a cargo ship sailing from Turkey to France on Friday, after the crew were threatened by "pirates" off the Italian coast, the defence ministry said.
The ministry told AFP the aggressors appeared to be migrants, though their nationalities were unknown. The captain managed to radio for help, sending an urgent request to Ankara, which then alerted the Italian authorities, according to reports. "However, the ship is surrounded. We will see in the next few hours... who the pirates are and what they wanted to do," he said.
