		<description><![CDATA[A statement purportedly from the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta(MEND), one of Nigeria’s largest militant groups, claims to have "attacked and destroyed" a pipeline owned by a Nigerian subsidiary of Eni SpA. Eni has since stated that an incident disrupted its Nigeria output by some 4000 barrels a day, but has yet to officially confirm the attack. In a statement released to media outlets, MEND said that "this relatively insignificant attack is a reminder of our presence in the creeks of the Niger Delta and a sign of things to come."
