ABUJA, July 17 (Reuters) - An oil pipeline feeding Shell's Bonny export terminal in southern Nigeria is burning in five separate places after local youths angry with the company set fire to it weeks ago, a human rights group said on Tuesday.

The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) called for the closure of the Trans-Niger pipeline. A spokesman for Royal Dutch Shell <RDSa.L> in Nigeria declined immediate comment. It was unclear if there was any impact on output from Bonny, which normally exports 400,000 barrels per day.
