An armed group in Libya has threatened to blow up the pipeline that transmits gas to Italy, the Green stream pipeline, within 72 hours, a German news agency reported. The group, which said it was following officer Ali Kanna, issued a videotape next to a gas transmission pipeline from the Libyan south to the industrial Mellitah Complex, which pumps Libyan gas to Italy via the Mediterranean.
The group demanded that Al-MabroukEhnish, who was arrested by the Special Deterrence Force (SDF), which works under the umbrella of the Government of National Accord (GNA, be released. However, those 72 hours have passed without incident.
This is not the first time an armed group has made this demand of the GNA this month. On October 16 an armed group dressed in military uniforms threatened to cut off the water supply to Tripoli from the man-made river water wells in the south if Ehnish was not released.
“If he was not released, we will burn down the man-made river water system, close Tripoli-Sabha road and gas pipelines,” the group, who are Qaddafi loyalists, threatened from inside the control room of the man-made river system in Hasawna.
