Incident: Pirates hijack trucks

Somali pirates operating in Puntland have seized three large trucks loaded with food supplies and driven them to Eyl where trucks, cargo, and drivers are held for ransom. The trucks were apparently associated with the UN's World Food Program when taken. "Community members are holding five other trucks that were part of the same aid convoy. It is not clear what they want." The date of the incident was not given. (New York Times, 03/01/10)
