BBC NEWS: Kidnapped oil worker 'released'

A British oil worker kidnapped in Nigeria three weeks ago has been freed, a local official has said.
Nigel Watson-Clark, from Saltford near Bath, and three other foreigners were taken hostage by armed militants demanding more control over resources.
A spokesman for the southern state of Bayelsa said the four were alive and well and with the state governor.
British officials and representatives of oil company Royal Dutch Shell said they were checking the report.
Mr Watson-Clark was in an elite band of security men who guard Nigeria's oil rigs.
The former paratrooper was snatched, together with an American, a Bulgarian and an Honduran, from an offshore oil platform on 11 January.
