Ex-MI6 man spies opening as head of GPW

A visiting professor at Glasgow University, Mr Fulton had been appointed to the school’s panel of legal experts briefing the press on the trial of two Libyans accused of the 1988 bombing. read more

Media-Savvy GuerrillasRoil Global Oil Prices in FightWith Nigerian Government 'Mr. Gbomo' Fires Off Emails By CHIP CUMMINSApril 10, 2006; Page A1

WARRI, Nigeria — The list of people with big influence over the $2 trillion-a-year global oil market has long been an exclusive one, topped by Saudi princes and American presidents. This year, someone calling himself Jomo Gbomo emailed his way into the club.

Since January, the obscure Nigerian rebel group that he claims to speak for has battled Nigeria's military, blown up oil facilities and kidnapped foreign oil workers. All the while, Mr. Gbomo (pronounced BO-mo) has fired off emails to the international media taking responsibility for the attacks or threatening new ones — and often roiling global oil prices in the process.

The U.S. government insisted on Sunday its priority was to seek a diplomatic solution to the nuclear dispute with oil-rich Iran, but did not deny comments made by unnamed officials in a magazine report suggesting it had stepped up military planning. read more
