Gaddafi-era Libyan oil chief drowns in Danube

Libya's former prime minister and oil minister Shokri Ghanem, a prominent defector from Muammar Gaddafi's government, drowned in the River Danube, Vienna police said on Monday and a Libyan security source suggested he could have been murdered.

 

Ghanem's fully-clothed body was found in the Danube in Vienna on Sunday, a few hundred meters from his home. According to a preliminary autopsy there were no indications of foul play or suicide, pokesman Roman Hahslinger told reporters. A Libyan security source said they were investigating the death and believed he could have been pushed into the Danube by former Gaddafi agents. (Reuters)
