LONDON, Oct 27 (Reuters) - British police were granted more
time to question seven men arrested after hostile stowaways
aboard an oil tanker in the English Channel prompted special
forces to storm the vessel on Sunday.
"Officers have been granted more time by Southampton
Magistrates Court to question seven men as we continue to lead
the investigation into the maritime security incident on board
the Nave Andromeda off the coast of the Isle of Wight on Sunday
25 October," police said in a statement.
The seven men, who are all Nigerian nationals, were arrested
on suspicion of seizing or exercising control of a ship by use
of threats or force, and will remain in custody until the
evening of Wednesday Oct. 28.
