This was August 10 the British media reported. According to representatives of the Tunisian Ministry of Internal Affairs, local police confiscated the cargo of gasoline smugglers planned to transport to Libya, "the supporters of Colonel Gaddafi." A column of five cars was stopped about 160 kilometers south of Tunis. It is worth noting that the exact origin of the detained goods and cars are not reported. However, according to British media reports, the Libyan smugglers bought on the black market fuel in Tunisia, which is illegally imported there from Algeria, and then transported him to Libya for sale, ITAR-TASS. According to Western observers, the detention of trucks with fuel by the Tunisian authorities is a step, "aimed at curbing illegal trade, which helps Muammar Gaddafi to stay in power."
