Crosetto, hijackers locked themselves inside the ship
“It is known about the hijackers that they are illegal immigrants who boarded a Turkish ship and used weapons, such as daggers, but we have not yet managed to capture them so we are not sure, they took over the ship. The San Marco battalion had to intervene The ship has now been recovered but not yet secured because those who had occupied it are locked inside”.
