Libyan rebel representatives said Qatar would help export up to 300,000
barrels of oil per day found in their territory. They said Qatar would help
the rebels access the oil revenues through an escrow account.
"We contacted the oil company of Qatar and they agreed to take all the
oil we export and market that oil for us," Libyan rebel representative Ali
Tarhoni said.

Council as representing Libya but did not confirm the oil deal.
