Rear Admiral Peter Hudson, commander of the European Union's anti-piracy force, speaks during an interview with the Associated Press in Nairobi, Kenya, Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2009, during which he said that an oil tanker hijacked by Somali pirates was traveling outside a recommended maritime corridor. The Greek-flagged tanker Maran Centaurus was carrying more than $20 million of crude oil when pirates captured it Sunday. Hudson said he does not advise vessels to have armed guards on board, and that flammable cargo and firearms don't mix. Hudson also says that the fact that pirates are now attacking ships 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) off the Somali coast presents a large challenge and that the EU force will never fully secure such a large area of ocean. Pirates are believed to be taking the tanker to the coast of lawless Somalia.
