Libya halts oil shipments to Switzerland

* You can smear Ronald Reagan all you like, but he did the right thing when he bombed the megalomanic, inbred despot of Libya, who sired this PoS in the picture below by the name of Hannibal.  If anything,  you can blame Reagan only for missing the target. The Gaddafi clan terrorizes, blackmails and intimidates just like the Barbary pirates did 200 years ago.

Targeted assassinations are a political necessity:

Hannibal Gaddafi: entitled to beat women wherever he can find them…?     

TRIPOLI, Libya—Libya said Thursday it has halted oil shipments to Switzerland, three months after the arrest of Moammar Gadhafi’s son in Geneva sparked a diplomatic crisis between the two countries.

Essam el-Zanati, head of Tamoil, Libya’s petroleum investment company, said the country has stopped providing Switzerland with crude oil. Tamoil has a refinery in Switzerland and produces 20 percent of Switzerland’s fuel. It also owns 320 gas stations.

The step came after Libya threatened in July to stop deliveries after Hannibal Gadhafi was arrested at a luxury hotel in Geneva on suspicion of beating two of his servants.

While Gadhafi, the youngest son of the Libyan leader, was freed on bail three days later and returned home with his wife, the situation developed into a diplomatic incident.

Among other steps, Tripoli recalled some of its diplomats in Switzerland and detained two Swiss nationals who were later released on bail but ordered to stay in the North African country.  (In an Islamic country, every infidel is a hostage/ed)

 

El-Zanati also said Thursday that the company’s refineries in Italy and Germany have not been affected.

Analysts have speculated that the latest move by Libya is an attempt to increase diplomatic pressure on Switzerland to close the case against Gadhafi. (update: the case has been closed but the hostages still remain in Libya/ed)

Swiss oil officials have said that they would turn, as needed, to other suppliers to secure the necessary crude.
