Libya’s ruler Muammar Gaddafi has reportedly ordered security forces to bomb oil pipelines to disrupt crude supplies to the Mediterranean countries.

A source said Gaddafi has ordered security services to start sabotaging oil facilities. The forces loyal to Gaddafi will start by blowing up several oil pipelines, cutting off the flow to the Mediterranean ports, he added, according to Time Magazine.

As reported by Russia’s Mayak radio station, in some provinces controlled by the ruling regime, soldiers who dare disobey the orders are being shut dead. Several tribes joined to support the anti-government forces and break through the blockade of Tripoli to rescue the population from starvation.
