American among 4 oil workers seized

PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria – Armed men seized four foreign oil workers
Nigeria’s oil-rich southeastern delta has seen 14 abductions in the last week. Kidnappings and sabotage attacks by militants, who argue that the impoverished region does not benefit from its oil, have cut Nigerian production by more than 20 percent since the beginning of the year. Most kidnap victims in the delta are returned unharmed.

A witness saw more than 10 people wearing military uniforms go into the club and drag a group of foreigners away late Sunday.
