Source: Aljazeera News |The US military has captured five attackers who seized an Israel-linked cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden amid missile attacks from Houthi-controlled Yemen. The Liberian-flagged tanker, which had been hauling phosphoric acid, was identified as the Central Park by the vessel’s company. The ship is managed by Zodiac Maritime Ltd, a London-headquartered international ship management firm, owned by Israel’s Ofer family. The US military said the USS Mason, with help from allied ships, demanded that the commercial ship be released by the attackers. “Subsequently, five armed individuals debarked the ship and attempted to flee via their small boat,” US Central Command said in a statement.
