Nigeria's main militant group in the oil-rich southern delta on Friday released a list of hostages it had taken from an attack on an offshore oil rig, with at least two names matching those of a U.S. and a Canadian worker believed to be held.
The hostage list came from a new e-mail address previously not associated with the militant group. The group apparently has been changing e-mail addresses after Henry Okah, an alleged gunrunner long thought to be a MEND leader, was arrested in South Africa on terrorism charges stemming from the Oct. 1 attack.
In the e-mail Friday, MEND also said it released three French workers and a Thai expatriate kidnapped Sept. 22 during an attack on an offshore rig operated by Addax Petroleum. The workers were released from captivity on Wednesday after MEND claimed to have negotiated with their original kidnappers to take control of them.
"Owing to their generally poor state of health, we were compelled to release them on humanitarian grounds," the statement read.
