“Militants in Nigeria’s oil-rich and troubled southern delta attacked an offshore oil rig operated by Exxon Mobil Corp, an assault similar to one last week that saw seven foreigners kidnapped, officials said on Monday.
In a brief statement, Exxon Mobil’s Nigerian subsidiary said ‘unknown armed persons’ on Sunday night boarded the oil rig operating off the coast of the Niger Delta. The subsidiary did not say whether anyone had been hurt during the attack nor if it affected oil production.”
