Lebanon oil spill 'biggest environmental disaster' in Med
Beirut (AFP) Jul 29, 2006 Israel's bombardment of fuel tanks at a power plant in southern Lebanon has caused the biggest environmental catastrophe ever in the Mediterranean, Lebanon's environment minister charged on Saturday. "Up until now 10,000-15,000 tonnes of crude oil have spilled out into the sea," after Israel's bombing of the power station in Jiyeh two weeks ago, Yacub Sarraf told AFP. "It's without doubt the biggest environmental catastrophe that the Mediterranean has known and it risks having terrible consequences not only for our country but for all the countries of the eastern Mediterranean."
