Two Arab television channels Abu Dhabi-based Sky News Arabia and
Dubai-based al-Arabiya quoted Libyan security sources as saying that
Zeidan was seized from a hotel where he was staying in the Libyan
capital and taken to an unknown location.
A hotel clerk who was not authorized to speak to the media said armed
rebels escorted the prime minister from the Corinthian Hotel in Tripoli
into a convoy of waiting cars. However, the witness reported no gunfire
during the incident, and said the gunmen was respectful and "caused no
trouble."
Zidan's office initially called the abduction a "rumor" on its official
Facebook page. Then it posted a note that said it was "coerced by
kidnappers to deny the report."
Ali Zeidan took office of Prime Minister in October 2012.
