MOGADISHU, Jan 9 (Reuters) - A Saudi supertanker seized by
Somali pirates in the world's biggest ship hijacking is moving
away from the coast in what may be the early stages of its
release, a regional maritime group said on Friday.
"It is moving south-east. She might have been released. It is too early to confirm. But often when a deal has been released, the hijackers accompany the ship away from the coast like this," said Andrew Mwangura, of the East African Seafarers Assistance programme.
