Speaking of Libya

Protect that oil.

U.S. Navy SEALs have boarded and taken control of an oil tanker that sailed out of a Libyan port earlier this month with armed men at the helm, the Pentagon said.

Libyan anti-government fighters, who are calling for a greater share of oil wealth and autonomy, had managed to load crude oil onto the 37,000 ton-tanker, embarrassing the weak central government and prompting parliament to vote Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan out of office last week.

No one was hurt in the SEALs’ boarding operation, which was approved by U.S. President Barack Obama, requested by the Libyan and Cypriot governments and conducted late Sunday in international waters southeast of Cyprus, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.

Oil production has seen a major decline amid mounting chaos to 230,000 barrels per day (bpd), from 1.4 million bpd in July.
