Central Park East
After pirates seized a tanker owned by an Israeli businessman - and with
two Turkish crew members on board- in the Gulf of Aden, on 26
November, the ship was rescued by a U.S. Navy ship. The Liberian-
flagged "Central Park" (!) tanker issued an S.O.S. and the USS Mason
answered the call, capturing the five pirates who tried to flee as the U.S.
ship approached.
In an announcement made by the Turkish Maritime General Directorate,
the Turkish crew members were identified as the ship's captain Aydın
Hasırcı and 4th captain Okan Yüksel. U.S. sources did not comment on
the ultimate target of the attack, while the Yemeni government in Sana
blamed the Houthi rebels, who control southern Yemen and who are
backed by Iran, for the attack.
True to its name, there's even a zoo on the Central Park.
