Nigeria’s main militant group said they are holding four foreigners hostage and will start attacks on oil installations in the Niger River delta in “coming days.”

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has custody of three French nationals and a Thai seized off Nigeria’s coast on Sept. 21 and will release names and personal details “very shortly,” Jomo Gbomo, a spokesman for the group, said in an e-mailed statement today.
