"Reporting it had been fired upon and illegally boarded"
Good story but I don't get the outcome - somone had fired upon and boarded the tanker, but they were no longer around and we have no idea what happened to them? They just fled the area, or what? It's unclear what was going on - was it terrorism or random piracy or what?
