LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) - Gunmen armed with dynamite assaulted a Chevron Corp. tanker in Nigeria's southern oil-producing region early Tuesday, killing a Nigerian sailor and kidnapping an American oil worker and five other foreigners, authorities said.
The restive region's main militant group, the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Navy Capt. Obiora Medani said the sailor was a guard aboard the tanker FPSO Oloibiri, which was in waters off Bayelsa state.
