Anglo Suisse Offshore Partners is taking responsibility for the March 20 oil spill in Gulf of Mexico.

It is now being reported that Anglo Suisse Offshore Partners - mentioned in a previous Independent Weekly blog on this subject - has released a statement confirming that its dormant well, which was being capped for permanent abandonment, was the source of the March 20 spill.
