Green group sues CNPC over oil spill

An environmental group in Dalian, Liaoning province, is demanding 645 million yuan ($104 million) for damage it says resulted from pollution caused by the China National Petroleum Corp in July 2010.

The claim is the largest made in an environmental case in the country.

Dalian's Maritime Court said it attaches great importance to the case because it is the first of its kind, and it is currently reviewing the indictment.
