From Tradewinds
Russia has arrested eight people over the alleged hijacking of the timber carrier Arctic Sea which was found off the coast of West Africa on Monday.
Citizens from Russia, Estonia and Latvia were seized from the 4,700-dwt ship when it was intercepted by a Russian warship 300 miles off Cape Verde early on Monday morning, Russia's defence minister Anatoly Serdyukov told state news agencies.
It is not known if any of those arrested were amongst the 15 Russian crew members of the Malta-flagged vessel.
