Two Die in Bombing of Greek-Operated Tanker in Libya's Port of Derna

ATHENS — Two crew members were killed when unidentified military aircraft bombed a Greek-operated oil tanker anchored at the Libyan port of Derna, the Greek coastguard said on Monday. The Liberian-flagged ARAEVO was carrying 12,600 tons of crude oil and had 26 crew members on board.

The air force of Libya's internationally recognised government said Monday that it carried out a deadly weekend air strike on an oil tanker in the Islamist-held eastern port of Derna.

The air force opened fire "after the crew refused to heed orders to stop for a search operation" spokesman Colonel Ahmed Mesmari said, describing the tanker as "suspicious".
