| Nigeria militants kill three in battle over oil turf |
| 2008-08-21 |
| At least three people were killed in a turf dispute between rival armed gangs in Nigeria's oil-producing Niger Delta, a resident and a security source said Tuesday. The gun battle over control of stolen oil in Sama, a village near the main industrial city of Port Harcourt, prompted hundreds of residents to flee early Tuesday morning, a resident said. A security source said at least 12 militants were killed in the clashes, which did not involve any Nigerian security forces. |
