Schumer Calls on BP to Suspend Planned Drilling Activities in Libya

Wednesday, 14 July 2010 09:36 Senator Schumer Community - Political
US Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Charles Schumer (D-NJ) and Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) will hold a news conference today to call for BP to suspend its oil drilling plans in Libya. Before BP makes money off of drilling there, the senators want to know to what extent BP helped to facilitate the release of Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi from a Scottish prison in order to finalize and expedite a $900 million offshore drilling deal with Libya. They have requested a full State Department investigation
