Greek oil tanker survivors kidnapped by Houthi rebels!

The U.S. Embassy in Yemen issued a statement saying that the Houthi rebels have kidnapped the surviving crew members of the Greek Eternity C oil tanker, which had sunk in the Red Sea following an attack by the Houthi rebels.

"The Houthi militants have kidnapped many of the surviving Eternity C crew members, killed several sailors, sunk the ship and prevented rescue operations. We demand their immediate and unconditional release. The Houthi group continues to show the world why the United States recognizes them as a terrorist organization," said the U.S. diplomatic mission.

The Eternity C cargo ship had 21 Filipino crew members and one Russian crew member.
