BP will try again on oil siphoning tube - exec

HOUSTON May 15 (Reuters) - BP Plc (BP.L) will make another attempt to siphon oil from a blown-out well a mile beneath the Gulf of Mexico on Saturday after its first attempt hit a snag, a company official said.

BP wants to get the siphoning tube inserted late Saturday night and operational overnight, BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles told reporters in Robert, Louisiana.
