The Saudi owners of the Sirius Star are negotiating with Somali pirates who have demanded a ransom for the super-tanker carrying $100m of oil they hijacked over the weekend, reported AFP. Saudi Arabia's foreign minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal, said countries don't like to negotiate with terrorists or hijackers but the final decision rests with the owners of the ship.
