Nigeria Gunmen Storm Oil Ship - Two Dead, Four Kidnapped-BBC

Gunmen in Nigeria have stormed a Dutch oil barge off the coast, killing two Nigerian navy sailors and kidnapping four foreigners, a naval officer says.
The navy has joined the search for the gunmen off the Niger Delta. Two navy sailors, among a group providing security, were wounded in the raid.
The foreigners are from Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Iran.

The ship that was attacked belongs to Sea Trucks Group.
The raid happened early in the morning, more than 30 nautical miles (56km) off the coast,
