<p>A U.S. Destroyer took five individuals into custody on Sunday after they attempted a terrorist hijacking of an Israeli owned tanker in the Gulf of Aden.</p>
<p>The Liberian-flagged Central Park chemical tanker — which is managed by Zodiac Maritime, a U.K. based firm that is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group — was believed to have been seized earlier in the day.</p>
<p>&#8220;US Navy personnel from the USS Mason responded to a distress call from the crew onboard an Israeli linked tanker,&#8221; said Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin. &#8220;5 armed gunmen tried to hijack the ship in Gulf of Aden. US Navy pursued toward Yemen. Warning shots fired. Gunmen now being interrogated.&#8221;</p>
<p>The incident marked the second time over the last few days that terrorists have tried to hijack the ship after Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists previously tried.</p>
<p>&#8220;The 5 gunmen boarded from a skiff by pulling up alongside the tanker which I am told &#8216;has a low free board&#8217;,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;The crew had locked themselves in the Citadel (safe room). A Japanese destroyer assisted the USS Mason with the interdiction. 2 Chinese Navy warships in the area did not render assistance.&#8221;</p>
<p>The terrorists tried to gain access to the safe room by breaking down the door but were unsuccessful.</p>
<p>&#8220;The hijackers exited the vessel and were making their way back to the shores of Yemen when the US Navy personnel pursued and arrested them,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;Warning shots were fired by the U.S. Navy personnel and a U.S. helicopter gunship flew cover. The 5 hijackers who tried to overtake the Israeli linked tanker are now being questioned by the U.S. military under counter piracy authorities.&#8221;</p>
