(ANSAmed) - TRIPOLI, MARCH 18 - The self-proclaimed
authorities of Cyrenaica on Tuesday called intervention by US
Navy SEALs on a tanker transporting oil for a separatist group
in Libya's eastern region an ''act of piracy''.
The accusation was by Ibrahim Jadran, the 33-year-old leader
of a group of former revolutionaries and the self-proclaimed
Political Office of Barqa (the name of Cyrenaica in Arabic), a
body which in recent months had announced the autonomy of
eastern Libya and the intention to export oil independently of
the central authorities in Tripoli.(ANSAmed).
