On Sunday morning, several dozen Liberian soldiers hijacked the
ship off the Liberian coast. The crew, which includes seven
Croatian sailors, was forced to dock at Harper Port, where some
1,000 refugees, mostly women and children, boarded the ship.
The hijacking ended on Tuesday with the ship's arrival in Monrovia
where the soldiers wanted to transfer refugees fleeing areas in
Liberia hit by the civil war.
