Asian and European seamen were kidnapped Thursday aboard a vessel in the Gulf of Guinea off the southern Cameroon port of Douala, a senior Cameroonian navy source said.
"(They) were abducted this morning," said the source, who gave no details about the number or nationality of the kidnap victims.
"The kidnappers are probably Nigerian pirates," the source said. "Cameroonian forces have launched search operations."
