[TRIPOLI] A commercial oil tanker that was seized and returned by US forces after it loaded crude at a Libyan port held by anti-government rebels has docked back in the capital Tripoli, a Reuters witness said yesterday.
US special forces seized the tanker a week ago off Cyprus, days after it left Es Sider port, which is controlled by rebels who demand more autonomy in defiance of the central government.
A Reuters witness on the coast near Tripoli saw the Morning Glory offshore. The tanker was due to arrive later at Libya's Zawiya port, where its cargo of crude will be fed into the Zawiya refinery.
