Former Libyan prime minister kidnapped

An armed person has kidnapped former Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zaidan last night, broadcasting Anadolu Agency.

Local media reported that the kidnapping occurred late last night in Libyan capital Tripoli and that Zeidan has been sent to an unknown destination.

So far no one has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.

For Zeidani this is not the first time to be kidnapped, as in the quality of Libya's prime minister had been kidnapped in 2013 by members of Libya's revolutionary Ode (ORL). After several hours of maintenance, he was released.

Libya remains in deep political and security crisis, as numerous militant groups and three parallel governments -- one in Tobrück, one in Tripoli and another -- operate in the state. The internationally recognised government is the National Unity Government.
