At about 2030 Hrs today, Wednesday, June 17, 2009, fighters from the Movement for
the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) in furtherance of Hurricane Piper Alpha
(our campaign to cripple the entire oil and gas export of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria), destroyed with high explosives a major crude oil trunk line in Bayelsa
state belonging to Shell.

This delivery line which supplies the Forcados export terminal takes feed from the
Tunu, Opukusu and Ugbotubu flow stations. The point of attack is the Agge/Odimodi
axis.

Piper Alpha veered off course to show its displeasure at the manner the government
has reacted to the extra judicial killings of two brothers by the JTF that was
caught on tape. This attack is dedicated to the brothers.

Shell should take a cue from Chevron and vacate the Niger Delta region to avoid
collateral damage to their investment and death to staff. We do not intend to waste
time taking hostages. Hurricanes are no respecters on anyone.
