Gas prices soar

Montreal drivers are waking up to a big jump in gas prices. A litre of gas rose to a dollar-thirty-per-litre Thursday morning. Oil prices have hit a two and a half year peak.

The increase is being blamed on the unrest in Libya. Some major oil companies have shut down their operations.

In Libya, Colonel Gaddafi has blamed the current unrest on Osama Bin Laden and Al Quaeda. He says they are exploiting Libya's youth, claiming they are telling them to attack after giving them pills.
