Protesters in Libya Threaten to Shut Down Oil and Gas Facilities
Protesters have threatened to shut down two oil and gas facilities near the Libyan capital Tripoli, with one group that is campaigning against corruption issuing a 72-hour ultimatum that ends on Friday. The group called the Corruption Eradication Movement said in a video statement online that it would "stop the pumping of gas from the Mellitah complex", a joint venture between Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) and Italy's Eni. Any halt would disrupt the supply of gas through the Greenstream pipeline between Libya and Italy.
