Seems to me that the Niger Delta militants are now killing anything that breathes.

I feel for the Biology in the region, may God protect it.

[size=14pt]Police: Lebanese man killed in Nigeria[/size]

PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (AP) - A Lebanese businessman was shot dead in his home early Friday in oil-rich southern Nigeria, police said.

In a separate incident Friday evening in Port Harcourt, several gunmen in a minibus opened fire near a white truck containing several foreign workers in an apparent attempt to kidnap them, an Associated Press reporter who witnessed the incident said.

Police escorting the expatriates returned fire as scores of Nigerian civilians fled the scene, abandoning their vehicles in the middle of one of the city's busiest roads. It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties or who the expatriates worked for.

State police spokeswoman Irejua Barasua called attack on the Lebanese businessmen in central Port Harcourt an attempted kidnapping, but did not say why police believed the assailants were trying to abduct the man.

Barasua said a nearby police station was attacked shortly afterward, and three officers were wounded by gunfire. It was not immediately clear whether the incidents were related. Barasua did not provide further details.

A friend of the family, who asked not to be identified for security reasons, said the man initially had come to Nigeria to work as a carpenter for a large company, but had decided to set up a business of his own. The friend said he thought a kidnap attempt was unlikely.

Kidnappings and oil rig attacks have become common in the southern river delta region of Africa's largest crude producer, where oil giants like Royal Dutch Shell PLC (NYSE:RDS A) , ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) and Eni SpA (NYSE:E) have large operations. The assailants range from militants demanding political concessions to criminal gangs seeking ransoms.

More than 150 foreigners have been seized in the region so far this year, as well as many Nigerians. About a dozen remain in captivity. Those taken hostage have typically been released unharmed, though some have reported being beaten, and a Belarusian woman was shot in the knee and held for more than a week without medical attention.

Police officers have been killed in a number of attacks or attempted kidnappings.

Arrests are rare, even though the kidnappings and bombings have cut production in Nigeria by about a quarter, helping to drive up oil prices worldwide.
