Bangladeshi cargo skips pirates

Bangladeshi cargo skips pirates

A Bangladeshi cargo ship today sailed in Pakistan after being chased by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean.  

MV Crystal Gold was attacked by a gang of Somali Pirates about 40 nautical miles from Pakistan around 4:00pm when the ship was on its way to Bandar Abbas, Iran, reports our Chittagong correspondent quoting Jashim Uddin Sarker, chief nautical supervisor of Department of Shipping.

Now the cargo ship safely sails towards Pakistan.
