Search on for U.S. mariners seized off Nigeria
coast

The Nigerian navy has yet to find two U.S.
citizens kidnapped from an oilfield supply ship
attacked Wednesday in the piracy-plagued Gulf of
Guinea off Africa's western coast. Both the crew
members and the 221-foot oilfield supply ship
C-Retriever remained missing. The Nigerian navy
said the search would continue, but it was
unclear if anyone other than their captors know
where the two were taken after their seizure. It
is not uncommon for pirates to seize merchant
crewmen for ransom. "They're (the pirates) out
for anything they can get their hands on. Cargo
theft is a big part of it, be it machinery,
supplies, be it the actual fuel, be it prisoners
that they take ashore and hold for ransom,
kidnapping essentially. They're looking for
money."
