BENGHAZI -- A former prime minister who once led Libya's first democratically elected government has been abducted by militiamen for a second time in the capital, Tripoli, witnesses said Monday.
They say Ali Zidan was led by an armed group out of a hotel where he was meeting with security officials late Sunday. The militiamen were from the Tripoli Revolutionaries' Brigade, which is allied with the U.N.-backed government in Tripoli. A competing government and parliament are headquartered in eastern Libya.
There was no official statement on Zidan's whereabouts.
