U.S. Forces Seize Stolen Libyan Oil Tanker 
-------------------------------------------


 
U.S. forces have boarded and taken control of an oil tanker seized by
militants at a Libyan port earlier this month. The operation occurred in
international waters southeast of Cyprus. The Pentagon says no one was
hurt. The tanker's seizure sparked a political crisis in Libya, leading
parliament to remove Prime Minister Ali Zeidan.
