Somali pirates have boarded an oil tanker off East Africa and a Russian warship is rushing to intervene. The 106,000-ton ship, named the Moscow University, has 23 Russian crew members on board. Today's dawn attack occurred about 500 miles east of the Somali coast. It's still unclear if the pirates are fully in control of the tanker, an EU Naval Force commander told AP.
