Libya oil chief 'defects to rebels'
Libyan oil chief Shukri Ghanem has defected and now supports the rebels, in a major blow to Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi, news reports said, as Nato and its partners decided to extend their Libya mission for another 90 days.
“In this situation you can no longer work, so I have left my country and my work to unite myself with the choice of young Libyans to fight for a democratic country,” the ANSA news agency quoted Mr Ghanem as saying in Rome.
