Credit: Reuters Youssef Boudlal By Maria Golovnina TRIPOLI | Thu Apr 7, 2011 2:48am EDT TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya accused Britain of damaging an oil pipeline in an air strike, hours after rebels said government attacks had halted production of oil they hope to sell to finance their uprising. "British warplanes have attacked, have carried out an air strike against the Sarir oilfield which killed three oilfield guards and other employees at the field were also injured," Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaim told reporters. There was no immediate comment from Britain's Ministry of Defense or from NATO, which is coordinating air strikes to protect civilians in Libya from Muammar Gaddafi's forces. Kaim said the strike damaged a pipeline connecting the oilfields to the Marsa el Hariga port. "There is no doubt this aggression ... is against international law and is not covered by the U.N. resolution," he said. Any damage to a pipeline leading to Marsa el Hariga is likely to cause more harm to the rebels than to Gaddafi. The Liberian-registered tanker Equator sailed from the port, near Tobruk, on Wednesday, apparently with the first cargo of crude sold by rebels since their uprising began in February. A rebel spokesman had said Gaddafi artillery hit rebel-held oilfields in Misla and the Waha area on Tuesday and Wednesday, halting production. No one on the rebel side was immediately available for comment on the latest allegations from Tripoli, which insisted the oil fields were under its control. The rebels regained ground around the oil port of Brega on Wednesday but repeated accusations NATO was not doing enough to help them as Gaddafi's forces unleashed yet more mortar rounds, tank fire and artillery shells on the western city of Misrata. A French minister said NATO air strikes in Libya risked getting "bogged down" and a top U.S. official warned U.S. lawmakers Libyan agents could be inside the United States and might try to launch retaliatory attacks. "We want to make certain that we've identified these individuals to ensure no harm comes from them, knowing they may well have been associated with the Gaddafi regime," FBI Director Robert Mueller said. Gaddafi himself appealed for a halt in the air campaign in a rambling three-page letter to U.S. President Barack Obama bluntly dismissed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "Mr. Gaddafi knows what he must do," Clinton told a news conference with Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, reiterating calls for a ceasefire, the withdrawal of his forces from cities they have stormed and his departure from Libya. Misrata, Libya's third city, rose up with other towns against Muammar Gaddafi's rule in mid-February, and is now under siege by government troops after a violent crackdown put an end to most protests elsewhere in the west of the country. Rebels who control eastern Libya are angry at what they perceive to be a scaling back of operations since NATO took over an air campaign, after an early onslaught led by the United States, France and Britain tilted the war in their favor. 1 2 3 Next World Libya Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
