Libya Says Will Bomb North Korea Flagged Tanker If It Ignores Orders
March 08 2014
TRIPOLI (Reuters) – Libya will bomb a North Korea-flagged oil tanker trying to load crude at an eastern port controlled by armed protesters if the vessel fails to follow orders from the navy, Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said on Saturday.
“The tanker will be bombed if it doesn’t follow orders when leaving (the port). This will be an environmental disaster,” Zeidan told reporters, calling the docking of the tanker a criminal act violating Libyan’s sovereignty.
Authorities had ordered the arrest of the tanker’s crew, he said. His comments were the first government reaction since the tanker reached Es Sider port, where protesters earlier said they had started exporting oil, bypassing Tripoli.
Are you prepared?
How does Libia fit with prophecy?
Libya. Just the mere word itself conjures up negative images, including its leader and ruthless dictator Moammar Gadhafi, the government’s participation in terrorism past and present, and Gadhafi’s proclamation that Islam should reign from India to Spain. Even now, we watch the events of war in Libya as it races across our TV screens headlining the nightly news, with the ever-increasing conflicts in the Middle East seemingly fulfilling Jesus’ phrase “you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars” (Matthew 24:6) thus pointing to His soon return. God has a clear plan for Libya. He has already decreed its outcome through one of the Biblical prophets of old, and God has revealed His ‘purpose’ in what will be the eventual devastating defeat of Libya…but it won’t be done by NATO airplanes nor will it be accomplished through rebel uprisings, neither will it be at the hands of the United States or Israel…God Himself will powerfully intervene.
why bomb it? tankers are not heavily armed just board after it leaves port and disobeys warnings. Simple and none dramatic.
