BENGHAZI Libya (Reuters) - A group of rebels campaigning for autonomy in eastern Libya rejects the parliament set up by another armed group in Tripoli but will honour a deal to keep major oil ports open, a rebel spokesman said on Wednesday.

Libya's oil output has risen to 725,000 barrels a day, more than six times the level two months ago, after the rebels agreed with the central government to end a blockade of four oil ports in the east.
