Libya air raid near the refinery in Ras Lanuf
2011-03-10
[Ennahar] A fighter plane carried out an attack Wednesday at about one km from the refinery of the Libyan city of Ras Lanuf, held by the orcs, where heavy fighting
... as opposed to the more usual light or sporadic fighting...
was under way, according to an AFP journalist on site.

The aircraft flew at low altitude before firing between the refinery and the Mediterranean coast. It was not possible to determine immediately whether the raids had caused casualties or damage.

Earlier, a series of major kabooms were followed by huge flames and fireballs in the sky above the refinery As-Sidra.

According to a witness working as a laborer in another oil facility in the region, an oil pipeline was hit.
