Libyan oil ports and fields are safe, under government control - interior minister says


    BENGHAZI Libya (Reuters) - Libyan oil ports and fields are safe and under government control, the country's interior minister said on Friday after visiting the eastern Brega port.

    "This visit is a message to the world and Libya that the Libyan state is controlling the oilfields and ports," Omar Sanaki told Reuters after the visit with several lawmakers.

    Brega was the site of a recent oil protest.
