Nigerian rebels say attack Chevron oil pipeline

ABUJA, July 10 (Reuters) - Nigeria's most prominent militant group said on Friday it attacked an oil pipeline recently repaired by U.S. oil major Chevron (CVX.N) in the Niger Delta.

"Our fighters revisited the recently repaired Chevron pipeline linking Alero creek through Abiteye to the Chevron export terminal in Delta state and destroyed it again," the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) said in a statement.

It was not immediately possible to independently verify the statement. (Reporting by Randy Fabi; Editing by Jon Boyle)
