The Morning Glory arrived in the Libyan capital on Sunday after U.S. special forces stormed the tanker and handed it over to Libya's nascent navy.

He said the militia would prove that is was able in future to protect any tanker buying oil from its ports.

"We realize that the world respects only those with force. That's why will add strength and equipment," he said, without elaborating.

1. The saga continues.

Neocons leaving another failed state in their wake.

I wonder who is providing the support to run the terminals.

Which oil services company is helping the jihadist.

Think Halliburton or schlumberger.
