Migrants hijacked a cargo ship that rescued them in the Mediterranean Sea and forced the crew to put the Libya-bound vessel on a course north toward Europe, authorities in two European countries said.
Italy's interior minister, Matteo Salvini, identified the ship as the Turkish oil tanker El Hiblu 1. He said the tanker had rescued about 120 people and described what was happening as "the first act of piracy on the high seas with migrants" as alleged hijackers.
The new route put the ship on a route to Italy's Lampedusa island and the island nation of Malta. The governments of both countries vowed to keep it from their territorial waters in the Mediterranean.
"Poor castaways, who hijack a merchant ship that saved them because they want to decide the route of the cruise," Salvini, who heads the anti-migrant League party, was quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency. There was no immediate word on the condition of El Hiblu 1's crew.

Migrants have been hijacking everything from welfare to health care for the last twenty years or more.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Talk is cheap.
When Salvini gets Italy out from under the EU, then I’ll believe he’s the real deal.
OK
30 day trial ?
Salvini is there to appease the hoi polloi.
If he threatens to start walking the walk, the EU threatens to start letting Italian banks fail.
Since Italy has refused to get its fiscal house in order, gets who wins that fight?
Hint: Not Italy.
Old yellow stain.
I knew through geometric logic that there was a second key.
Mercantile dirottato, sbarcati i migranti a Malta: i primi una mamma con un bimbo di pochi mesi
None of those migrants, including the perps, is going anywhere.
You’re not serious. Do you really think there is a Libya Coast Guard? There is virtually no government in Libyan.
Torpedoes, LOSS!
Really; imagine what havoc these gibsmedats will cause in whatever civilized nation they infest.
The most basic cause of this is the refusal of civilized people to breed. Western elites will not watch their fiefdoms shrink; they’ll just import foreigners to serve them.
Make them walk the plank.
For those who don’t know the scam it works like this:
1) The migrants board ships (in various states of disrepair) along Hillary’s Libyan coast, roughly 200 miles south of Western Europe)
2) The ships sail 3 miles north, until they reach International Waters
3) The ships dump off the migrants into the Med Sea in new rafts, and with bright, new life jackets.
4) Along comes a rather large Soros-funded ship, run by a Soros-funded NGO (or UN funded), such as Doctors without Borders.
5) They see the poor migrants drifting about a few miles north of Libya and pick them up (rescuing people at sea is also required by international law).
6) The ships then have a choice, sail 3 miles south and drop off the migrants back in Libya, or sail 197 miles north and drop off the migrants in Western Europe.
7) The (Soros) people, obviously, sail north and with that yet another boatload of migrants are now in Europe.
As the article states, this (tanker) ship got to the migrants first, and decided to sail south...something that was not what the migrants signed up for and has paid the price.
This is just how fucked up things are now (pardon the French, but I can’t come up with another term that fits).
They’ve hijacked an entire continent, whats one ship more or less?
America is being held hostage by illegal invaders
What's happening is absolutely incredible. Worldwide. I wouldn't believe it if it weren't happening even in the United States.
And 99% of political leaders are facilitating the takeover. Unbelievable.
It’s a war on Europe the Roman Catholic pope has endorsed, as a “right” of the migrants.
After chumming the waters first. Mack the Knife.
If it was the strawberries, which one of them has steel balls?
Being that it was a Turkish-registered vessel, my first thought was that this was all a put-up job: the Muslim Turkish crew picked up the Muslim Libyans and decided to stage a kabuki-play, claiming to have been hijacked by the "migrants" to see if they could convince Italian authorities to "ransom" the ship by allowing the "migrants" to reach port ...
Then, again, it may be that I need my meds adjusted ... although, just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean that there may not be conspiracies out there ...
