Militants disrupt Chevron operation

    ABIDJAN

    Militant youths from 10 ethnic Ijaw communities in Nigeria's southern Delta
    State have disrupted oil drilling activities of US oil giant Chevron to back
    demands for jobs and amenities, the 'Vanguard' newspaper reported on
    Thursday.

    The Lagos newspaper said the action had affected 20 new oil wells being
    drilled in the company's Dibi oilfield, where oil service companies Giogio
    Ltd, Westminster Dredging and Marine, as well as NACAP were laying pipelines
    to pump crude oil from the wells.
