| Libyan government calls for international help as fire spreads at Sidra |
| 2014-12-28 |
| [Libya Herald] Omar Al-Sinki, the Minister of the Interior, has called for international help to extinguish the fire at the Sidra Oil Terminal which is spreading. Five tanks are now said to be ablaze. Sinki is said to have specifically asked for Italian and American help; the terminal is operated by Waha Oil, a joint venture between the National Oil Corporation and a number of US oil companies. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... they are reported to be reluctant to intervene at present because of fears of further attacks. |
