Libya Renews Shipment Of Oil To Switzerland

Libya has renewed its shipments of oil to Switzerland, after stopping them a week ago to protest against the arrest of Hannibal Qaddafi, son of Libyan leader Mu'ammar Al-Qaddafi (see "Libya Stops Oil Exports To Switzerland Following Arrest Of Qaddafi's Son").

Libya has also released two Swiss citizens, who were arrested in Tripoli.

It was reported that a Libyan oil tanker was already en route to Europe.
