Libya: NATO hits oil port of Ras Lanouf

None

NATO aircraft have blasted an oil terminal in a key eastern city in a nightfall strike, Libyan TV reported, after Britain urged the alliance to widen its assault on areas controlled by ruler Muammar Gaddafi.

 

Libya's deputy foreign minister Khaled Kaim sharply condemned that call, describing it as a "provocation." The Libya TV report said NATO bombs on Sunday hit methanol tanks at the oil port of Ras Lanouf, causing leaks. NATO officials had no immediate comment. (AP)
