Tripoli, Jumada I 10, 1435, Mar 11, 2014, SPA --The Libyan parliament passed a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Ali Zeidan Tuesday after a tanker laden with oil from a rebel-held port broke through a naval blockade, dpa reported. The news comes after a North Korean-flagged tanker which docked in eastern Libya on Saturday escaped to sea laden with crude despite an order by Zeidan to prevent it from leaving Sidra port. The state-run LANA news agency reported that the National Congress has appointed Defence Minister Abdullah al-Thani as acting premier for a period of 15 days. -- SPA 19:26 LOCAL TIME 16:26 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1208265
