DUBAI: A gas pipeline feeding Yemen’s only liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal was blown up again yesterday morning, the operating company said.
Yemen’s oil and gas pipelines have been repeatedly sabotaged since anti-government protests created a power vacuum in 2011 that armed groups have exploited to cause fuel shortages and slash export earnings for the impoverished country. The 320km pipeline that supplies the $4.5bn plant has been attacked several times by suspected Al Qaeda-linked gunmen. “Yemen LNG confirms the sabotage of the 38-inch gas pipeline that links the block 18 to the Balhaf terminal on the Gulf of Aden,” the company said.Reuters
