Tunisia diplomatic staff kidnapped in Tripoli in good condition

Ten Tunisian consular staff kidnapped by gunmen in Libya's capital Tripoli are in good condition and contact has been made with their captors, the interior minister for Libya's self-declared government said on Saturday.

 

"I am in contact with the group who abducted the Tunisian staff and hopefully the staff will be freed soon," Interior Minister Mohamed Shaiteer told Reuters. "They are in good condition."

 

Tunisia's government said an armed group had stormed the consulate in Tripoli and kidnapped the 10 staff on Friday.
