MILAN (Dow Jones)--Eni SpA (ENI.MI) Thursday declined to comment on a news report that Libya had halted all energy cooperation with Italy.

An AFP report earlier said Libya's premier had announced a halt to future deals with the Italian energy group because of Italy's participation in a NATO bombing campaign in the North African country, which is being ravaged by civil war.
