SINGAPORE: Several of the original crew members of the 12,934-dwt cargo

vessel Anna Sierra (built 1971) are reported to have identified the men

who physically attacked them when the vessel was seized by pirates off

Bangkok September 13 1995.



Through police in Cyprus, where the vessel is registered, Anna Sierra's

Piraeus-based owner Thesarco Shipping obtained photographs of the men

found on board the vessel when it was first spotted after its hijacking

and showed them to crew members.
