French government spokesman Stephane Le Foll said Paris were seeking to confirm whether there were any casualties in the attack but that "no Westerners" had been killed
TRIPOLI, Libya Gunmen attacked a Libyan oil field partially owned by France's Total during the night but staff were successfully evacuated, the state-owned National Oil Company said on February 4.
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that 3 Filipinos were among the 7 individuals kidnapped.
"The DFA and the Philippine Embassy in Libya are monitoring the situation and coordinating closely with the employer of the Filipinos, in ensuring their well-being and safe return," The DFA said in a statement.
"An unidentified armed group attacked the field but personnel were evacuated in time," NOC spokesman Mohamed al-Harari told Agence France-Presse.
Harari said he had no immediate word on any casualties among security forces guarding the Al-Mabruk field, some 100 kilometres (60 miles) south of Sirte. (READ: UN postpones Libya peace talks again)
The city on Libya's central coast was the hometown of slain dictator Moamer Kadhafi.
French government spokesman Stephane Le Foll said Paris were seeking to confirm whether there were any casualties in the attack but that "no Westerners" had been killed.
"We have been informed that an armed group has attacked the Mabruk site," a spokeswoman for Total said, adding that the company had previously withdrawn all of its personnel.
"Total is not the operator. The site is operated by the Mabruk Oil Operation, which is managed by the NOC," she added.
