Gunmen in Nigeria kidnap 5 more foreigners

Home (The Associated Press) - WARRI, Nigeria: Gunmen seized five foreign hostages Friday in Nigeria's restive southern oil heartland, grabbing the expatriate workers in two separate incidents, officials said.

The two Chinese, two Indians and one Polish national were seized across the southern Niger Delta, said Brig. Gen. Lawrence Ngubane, a military commander in the region. He had said earlier that three Chinese were taken in one attack, but later said only two had been kidnapped.

On Thursday, a leader of the militant group behind attacks on Nigeria's oil industry walked free from prison after a judge granted him bail a breakthrough in the crisis roiling Africa's oil giant and global petroleum markets.
