Nigeria deaths in speedboat raid

At least five Nigerian soldiers have been killed in a massive raid on a convoy of barges carrying fuel in the oil-producing Niger Delta.
Some 25 workers for the oil firm Shell were taken hostage, while nine more soldiers are missing, sources say.

About 70 armed men staged the attack in five speedboats and destroyed two military patrol boats.

A coalition of militant groups has said it carried out the raid and demanded the release of one of its leaders.
