Nigerian militants claim another bombing
If confirmed, the attack would mark a sixth straight day of stepped-up violence in Africa’s oil giant.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta said in a statement that it used high explosives to destroy the conduit run by a unit of Royal Dutch Shell PLC.
Shell officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
The latest run of violence in three years of chaos in Nigeria’s southern oil region began when the military launched a rare offensive attack on Saturday against a militant camp with ground and air forces.
Normally, the militants and military steer clear of each other.
The militants have retaliated with raids on soldiers guarding oil installations and with sabotage on the pipelines that carry crude from wells to export terminals.
The militants have declared an “oil war” in the Niger Delta, where militants demanding more oil-industry funds from the federal government have stepped up attacks.
About 40 per cent of Nigeria’s normal daily oil production is now offline, severely curtailing exports from Africa’s oil giant.

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.
