A series of massive explosions Wednesday erupted into fireballs near an
oil facility outside the Libyan rebel-held town of
Ras
Lanuf
, where a mechanic said a pipeline was blown up.
"I know for sure that what they blew up was an oil pipe. I know the whole
line by heart," said Ali al-Aguri, an oil company mechanic who works at
another plant further away from the As Sidra facility.
A series of explosions, followed by huge flames leaping hundreds of meters into
the sky were seen and heard by an AFP reporter about five kilometers west of
Ras Lanuf, a strategic oil town on the Mediterranean coast.
The fire could be seen raging in the area of an oil facility. Every few
minutes, another ball of flames shot up into the sky. A constant inferno of
fierce flames could be seen at the foot of the cloud of black smoke.
