Al Jazeera English - Africa - Nigeria rebels 'attack pipeline': "Nigerian rebel fighters say they have attacked an oil pipeline operated by international oil giants Shell and Chevron in the south of the country.
The attack in Rivers State on Saturday would be the first since an indefinite ceasefire was announced on October 25 in response to a government amnesty for fighters who gave up their arms.
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend) said in a statement the 'warning strike [was] carried out by five boats involving 35 ... fighters armed with assault rifles, rocket launchers and heavy calibre machine guns.'"
