North Korea disowns Libya oil tanker
North Korea had nothing to do with a tanker which left Libya with an oil shipment in defiance of the government, a Pyongyang official has said.
North Korea revoked the Morning Glory's registration when it learned of the incident, Jon Ki Chol said.
Libya's Prime Minister Ali Zeidan was dismissed by parliament on Tuesday after the ship evaded a naval blockade to set sail from a rebel-held port.
It fuelled speculation about links between North Korea and Libyan rebels.
