Libyan Prime Minister Freed After Brief Captivity 
--------------------------------------------------


 
Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has been freed from captivity after
being seized earlier today. A group of armed assailants snatched Zeidan
from the Tripoli hotel where he resides before letting him go. The
abduction appeared to be in response to the U.S. operation over the
weekend that seized top al-Qaeda suspect Abu Anas al-Liby from the
streets of Tripoli. Zeidan was reportedly released after a group of
armed protesters fired on the building where he was being held.
