"Other bandits, among hundreds who have made the Gulf of Aden the world's most dangerous waterway, seized an Italian tugboat off Somalia's north coast Saturday as it was pulling barges, said Shona Lowe, a spokeswoman at NATO's Northwood maritime command center outside London." US ship, choppers, shadow hostage captain, pirates


I notice that they have changed it to an Italian tugboat, instead of an American  tug with an Italian crew.  Why?
