一群约百名逃离利比亚的偷渡难民，获两艘隶属油轮「艾希布鲁一号」的橡皮艇救起 该油轮原定前往利比亚首都黎波里。
获救的难民中包括15名妇女、47名未成年人，现已安全抵达马耳他首都瓦莱塔邻近港口。
不料，难民登上「艾希布鲁一号」后，威逼船长改变航向，驶往欧洲。
该艘帛琉籍油轮的船长向马耳他政府取得联系后，告知难民取得船的控制权，改变航道前往意大利南部兰佩杜萨岛或岛国马耳他。
随后，马耳他武装部队登船，重新夺回控制权，并逮捕五名涉嫌劫持船只的难民。
意大利强硬派内政部长萨尔维尼，称该起挟持事件为「首度有非法移民在公海成为海盗」。

A group of 100 migrants escaping from Libya were rescued from two rubber boats by the El Hiblu 1, an oil tanker that was on its way to Tripoli, the Libyan capital.
The group, which includes 15 women and 47 claiming to be minors, has now safely made it to a port near the Maltese capital, Valletta.
After boarding the ship that rescued them, the Libyans forced the captain to change direction and turn towards Europe.
The captain of the Palau-flagged El Hiblu 1 established contact with the Maltese authorities and told them that the Libyans were forcing the ship to go towards Italy’s southernmost island of Lampedusa or Malta.
Subsequently, Maltese armed forces boarded the vessel and overpowered the Libyan group. Five ringleaders have been arrested.
Italy’s hard-line interior minister, Matteo Salvini, referred to the hijacking as “the first act of piracy on the high seas with migrants.”
