Georgi Luizov, a Bulgarian sailor who was recently on board of the Anouar Ifrikia oil tanker, seized by Libyan rebels, has safely returned to his home country.
On March 17, rebels forced the tanker's crew to head for Al-Hrika port in Tobruk under the threat of arms. The vessel is owned by one of Muammar Gaddafi's sons, Hanibaal.
