[news] Nigerian Militants Free Hostages

[Mostly Water - "Canadian" and International alternative news feed]

In a nighttime attack on June 7, the Nigerian militant group “MEND” killed six soldiers and abducted five Korean workers at a Shell Natural Gas plant in the Niger Delta. The soldiers were part of a Nigerian security force that has been assigned to protect the Delta’s oil production. Thus far, their efforts have not been successful, as increased attacks have cut the region’s extensive oil output by 25 per cent.
