| Libya declares force majeure at 11 oil fields after attacks | ||
| Agence France Presse Benghazi, Libya: Libya's National Oil Co declared force majeure Wednesday at 11 oil fields in the centre of the country after attacks by Islamists.The measure is a legal status that protects a company from liability when it is unable to fulfil contracts for reasons beyond its control. On Tuesday, Islamist militants seized Al-Bahi and Al-Mabrouk fields and were heading for a third one, at Al-Dahra, said a spokesman for the Libyan oil industry's security service. | ||
