ORANGE BEACH, Alabama (Reuters) - The fund BP set up to deal with compensation claims after last year's Gulf of Mexico oil spill is working too slowly, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Thursday.

The fund is not sufficiently transparent and requires too much documentation from claimants, said Holder after a visit to Orange Beach and Dauphin Island, both of which sustained oil damage during the three-month spill that began last April.
