 Libyan factions battle over eastern oil ports

Tripoli 19 Sep (ANA) - Eastern Libyan forces loyal to military leader Khalifa Haftar said they had re-established control over two oil ports where an ousted faction launched a counterattack on Sunday, briefly seizing one of the terminals. The Petroleum Facilities Guard - an armed group led by Ibrahim Jathran and loyal to the Tripoli-based government - said it staged an attack on Sunday on two of the oil ports captured by Haftar's forces last week. Haftar's troops had seized the ports of Ras Lanuf, Al-Sidra, Zuwaytina, and Brega in the so-called oil crescent along the coast, which were then handed to the National Oil Corporation.(ANA)
