UPDATE 2-Bank robbers open fire near Nigeria Shell site
(Recasts with police comment)
PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria, May 19 (Reuters) – Nigerian security forces clashed with gunmen trying to rob a bank on Monday outside the gates of a Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) compound on Bonny Island, in the southern Rivers state, police said.
“The gunmen came to attack the Oceanic Bank outside the gates of the Shell compound in Bonny. Several people were injured,” said Rita Inoma-Abbey, spokeswoman for Rivers state police command.
Bonny Island is home to the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas facility, one of sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest single industrial projects, which is operated by Shell.
Attacks on oil facilities and compounds are frequent in the Niger Delta, where militant groups launched a violent campaign in 2006 to press for greater local control of oil revenues, but the line between criminality and militancy has become blurred.
Oil companies and trading sources say a recent spate of attacks and sabotage have shut in about 559,000 barrels per day of Nigerian production, about 19 percent of the installed output capacity of around 3 million bpd in the West African state.

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.
