LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - Militants who claim to be holding four foreigners hostage in Nigeria's oil-rich delta warned the military Saturday against attempting to free them by force.
In a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press, the group claiming to hold the men accused the Nigerian government of planning military action with unidentified foreign countries "in a last ditch effort to release the hostages."
"Any attempt to employ military force ... shall be the greatest military mistake ever," the statement said.
