Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi faces a fourth month without receiving gasoline cargoes by sea as motorists wait in line at filling stations in the capital.
Rebels opposing Qaddafi received three to four cargoes of gasoline a month in June and July while the leader got none, according to two traders, one shipowner, one analyst and one shipbroker surveyed by Bloomberg. The rebels received about four cargoes in May and Qaddafi got none. That compares with eight cargoes in a normal month before an uprising erupted in February, they said.
