Libya's oil security forces say re-take control after Al Ghani oilfield attack


    BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - Libya's oil security forces have retaken control of Al-Ghani oilfield after militant gunmen attacked the facility, killing seven guards, said a spokesman for the forces on Friday.

    The official, Ali Hassi, said his forces were also now controlling Mabrouk, Bahi and Dahra oilfields in the central Sirte basin, which were also attacked over the last week.
