Libyan PM appears on TV after being freed by former rebels

Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan appeared live on television on Thursday after he was released by former rebel fighters who had seized and held him for several hours.

"Libyans need wisdom ... not escalation ... to deal with this situation," he said during a televised cabinet meeting, where he thanked some rebels who helped in his release and urged them to join the regular armed forces. (Reuters)
