ZENTEN: Rebels on Sunday cut off an oil pipeline they said was used to supply troops loyal to Libyan leader Moamer Qadhafi in the west of the country, an AFP correspondent said.
Around 20 rebels shut off the valves of the pipeline to Zuwarah refinery near Khamassa.
"The oil belongs to all Libyans, not Qadhafi. He will no longer be able to use it against us," one of the rebels was heard telling loyalist forces contacted by telephone.
It was the second such action this month, after another pipeline was cut off to the east of Zenten. Both are normally used to service the capital.
