US navy hands rogue oil tanker back to Libya
Tripoli (AFP) - The US navy Saturday handed over to Libyan authorities an oil tanker it intercepted after the vessel took to sea with crude illegally loaded at a rebel-held port, the American embassy said.
"Earlier today, US forces turned control of the M/T Morning Glory over to the government of Libya," it said in a statement.
"The handover took place in international waters off the coast of Libya, and the government of Libya and its security forces are now in control of the vessel."
