(CNN) -- Pirates hijacked a Greek-owned cargo ship Wednesday morning off the coast of Oman, the European Union Naval Force Somalia said.

The Liberian-flagged Eleni P, operated by Eurobulk, was carrying 26 crew members when pirates overpowered the ship, the EU naval force said. The crew -- 23 Filipinos, two Romanians and one Indian -- are reported to be safe, the force said.

The ship was en route to India when it was taken by the pirates about 250 nautical miles off the coast of Oman, according to the force, which said it was monitoring the situation.

"Don’t forget he said people shouldn't’t go to Nevada."

He meant Las Vegas and tourists which was very stupid on his part. But on that note if no other liberal or illegal moves here I will be a very happy camper.

"Hire the Russians to take it back. I hear they pulled off a good job a few days ago."

Maybe, when they get done with that, our govt. can hire the Ruskies to secure our borders.(sarc.)
