Nigeria militants say attack Chevron oil pipeline

ABUJA, June 12 (Reuters) - Nigeria's main militant group said on Friday it attacked one of Chevron's (CVX.N) oil pipelines in the Niger Delta and threatened to sabotage another facility operated by the U.S. energy company.

"A major gas pipeline manifold and another major crude oil pipeline belonging to Chevron recently repaired at a sum of over $56 million were both blown up," the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) said in an e-mailed statement. (Reporting by Randy Fabi)
