Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zidan has been freed hours after he was seized by former rebels, state TV has reported.

A former Libyan rebel group said on Thursday it had “arrested” Zeidan after the government allowed the United States to capture a top al-Qaeda suspect, Abu Anas al-Liby, in Tripoli last weekend.

The Libyan Revolutionary Operations Chamber said on Facebook it had seized the prime minister “on the prosecutor’s orders,” adding that Zeidan “was arrested under the Libyan penal code… on the instructions of the public prosecutor”. – Aljazeera.
