(Delta militants have carried out a series of attacks and abductions)
Unknown gunmen have killed a Lebanese construction worker on his way to work in Nigeria’s oil-rich city of Port Harcourt, say security sources. They opened fire on two Lebanese workers, although other details of the attack remain sketchy.
Industry sources describe the attack as “unusual” as it seemed deliberate.
The shooting is the latest in a growing number of incidents targeting foreign workers in the Niger Delta region which has seen oil exports cut by a fifth.
“Normally, the militants just kidnap the foreigners, but this one is different as we are being told that the attackers deliberately opened fire on them as if it was planned,” a senior security official with a major western oil company told the BBC News website on the phone from Port Harcourt.
Senior police officers in Port Harcourt are meeting about the shooting.
Kidnap
Meanwhile, the Italian foreign ministry has confirmed that two Italian construction company employees have been kidnapped near Port Harcourt.
A militant group in the Niger Delta is already holding two Italian citizens.
On Thursday, it issued a warning after it said a Lebanese hostage had escaped captivity and had not been freed, as his company earlier claimed.
It is the first time a hostage has escaped during a year-long wave of kidnappings in the Delta, which has seen more than 100 hostages taken.
The group says the man escaped with the help of the local state government and his employer, Italian oil company Agip, and warned they would seek vengeance.
They also said they would halt negotiations on the release of Italians being held hostage.
The group’s leaders say they want the release of two prominent local leaders and compensation from oil companies for pollution in the Delta.
Most kidnapping cases in the Delta are resolved after a ransom has been paid.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
