HANOI: Vietnam’s marine police are questioning eight foreigners suspected of being the escaped pirates who commandeered a Malaysian-flagged tanker in the South China Sea for a week.
The unarmed men docked at Tho Chu Island, off southwest Vietnam, on a lifeboat on Friday morning after “saying they encountered an accident at sea”, said Major-General Ngo Ngoc Thu, deputy commander of the Vietnam Marine Police.
