Libyan leader threatens to bomb North Korean oil tanker
Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Libya's prime minister threatened Saturday night to bomb a North Korean-flagged ship that had entered a rebel-held oil port, calling the ship's arrival there a "violation of international law."
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said if the ship does not follow orders, "it will be bombed and this could lead to an environmental disaster."
The vessel, dubbed Morning Glory, docked late Friday night in the oil port of As-Sidra. Zeidan said the ship's captain subsequently was warned by phone, though the captain responded that local militia on board did not allow them to depart.
Libyan government officials spoke with diplomats at North Korea's embassy in Tripoli, Zeidan said. He added that information showed a "Gulf nation" owned the ship and that it is registered in North Korea. A spokesman for Libya's National Oil Corporation indicated the tanker was Saudi owned, but Saudi Arabia's embassy released a statement saying it had nothing to do with the ship.
In addition, an arrest warrant has been issued for the oil tanker's captain and "the use of armed force, as necessary," has been authorized, according to Zeidan.

IF a Gulf nation owns the ship, why would it be licensed in NK? Sounds like a smoke screen to me. Whatever. It's not going to get away with dealing with those rebels, looks like. NK is most likely just going to deny that it's theirs. Unless the crew is NKean...

I am reminded of a meme that has been showing up a lot lately: “It's only when you see a mosquito landing on your testicles that you realise there is always a way to solve problems without using violence."
Why blow it up when you can confiscate it?

It is in an area where the current Libyan leader cannot exert control on the ground, although he could still order an airstrike if his craziness quotient reached a high enough level...
It is a chaotic, failed state...
