Bomb Attacks On Nigerian Pipelines Cause Massive Oil Spill
Multiple bombings of oil pipelines in southern Nigeria has caused a massive oil spill into surrounding areas. Attacks on the Agip oil pipelines have caused thousands of barrels of oil to pollute waterways, farms and fishing grounds in the southern Bayelsa state. Oil flowed unchecked for two days, according to fishermen who complained that a clean-up had not yet started. Press TV reports: The unidentified official said 16,000 barrels of oil per day were lost since explosions on Thursday and Friday which were blamed on militants who want a bigger share of oil revenues in the producing state.
