LAGOS (AFP)--A Nigerian navy patrol Tuesday foiled an attempted
attack on an offshore oil facility operated by French oil company
Total SA (TOT), the company said.
"Men in speedboats tried to attack our Amenam offshore field and
they were driven away by a (navy) patrol team," Total spokesman
Fred Ohwawa said.
Amenam lies about 30 kilometers offshore Rivers State in the
Niger Delta.
