The fuel and gas committee has launched The Mediterranean Storm Operation that means to cut off the routes of international smuggling gangs that are smuggling Libyan fuel off Libyan shores and elsewhere. "The operation will see a cooperation between the naval force and the air force in Libya." It added that among other aims, the operation will seize the vehicles used by the smugglers to smuggle Libyan fuel starting from Thursday. The fuel and gas committee indicated. Two days ago, the committee disclosed that its members had constantly received death threats by some Libyan nationals, who were directly affected by cracking down on fuel smuggling.
