Gunmen abduct Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan

BBC News - Libyan PM Ali Zeidan seized by armed men

Mr Zeidan was taken from his hotel before dawn "by gunmen to an unknown place for unknown reasons", said a government statement.

A former rebel group loosely allied to the government said it had arrested him following a prosecutor's warrant. The government has denied this.

The government has been under pressure after US commandos seized senior al-Qaeda suspect Anas al-Liby in Libya.

Mr Liby was snatched on Saturday in Tripoli. He is wanted in the US over the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.

On Monday, Libya demanded an explanation from the US ambassador over the incident.

That's a bit of a shocker.
