Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has accused a ‘political party’ of organising his brief abduction by armed gunmen, the latest example of the lawlessness prevailing since Moamer Kadhafi's overthrow.
The premier appeared in good health when he arrived at government headquarters after his ordeal, waving to waiting well-wishers as he climbed out of an armoured car.
‘I hope this problem will be resolved with reason and wisdom’ and without any ‘escalation,’ Zeidan later said on Thursday, in comments broadcast by state television as he left a cabinet meeting.
The pre-dawn seizure of Zeidan came five days after US commandos embarrassed and angered the government by capturing senior Al Qaeda suspect Abu Anas al-Libi.
