The 444 Brigade of the Libyan army on Saturday seized three trucks carrying around 100,000 liters of smuggled fuel south of the western town of Bani Walid.

The brigade confirmed in a statement that it arrested the smugglers on board the truck and referred them to the competent authorities.

Another attempt to smuggle a quantity of 80,000 liters of fuel from Nesma town was also foiled by the Libyan army last March.
