Just another Day Fuel crisis adds to Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh's woes SANA'A // Yemen is facing a growing fuel crisis after its crude oil exports and main refinery were shut down more than a week ago. The shortages began after tribesmen demanding that President Ali Abdullah Saleh step down cut a main oil pipeline in the central province of Marib last month, police said. The pipeline supplied the Aden refinery and the Ras Isa export terminal on the Red Sea. For the last five days trucks and buses at petrol stations in major cities have waited in queues at least one kilometre long to get diesel and petrol, which station employees said ran out two days ago. Stations were also rationing diminishing petrol supplies. = Libya: Gaddafi forces 'bomb oil storage tanks in Misrata' Rebels in Libya say Colonel Gaddafi's planes have bombed oil storage tanks in Misrata.

But the Ministry of Energy said it expected normal supply to have resumed by yesterday, insisting that there were adequate stocks of Super petrol in the country. Marketers said some correction of the anomaly took place yesterday, but it will take two to three days before the backlog created by a three-day hitch is cleared. = Iran foils pirate attack on UAE tanker MOSCOW (RIA Novosti) - The Iranian Navy on Saturday thwarted an attempt by pirates to hijack an oil tanker from the United Arab Emirates, Press TV reported.
