A country where even the prime minister is not safe from kidnapping then who then is safe in the country?
Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan was kidnapped in the early hours
of this morning from
the Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli by suspected former rebels who even
took a pic of them with him and shared it online (inset).
Mr Zeidan, who became Prime Minister just eleven months ago after living in exile for many years, was seized in what is believed to be retaliation for the capture by American forces of a wanted al-Qaeda-linked operative at the weekend, BBC reports.
