Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zaidan was detained at a hotel in the country’s capital at dawn and is being held at an undisclosed location, according to the security forces.
The Interior Ministry’s Crime Combatting Authority said it was holding Zaidan and that he’s in good health, the group’s spokesman, Abdel Hakim Al Belaazi, told the state-owned Libyan Arab News Agency today, without elaborating. The arrest was carried out in a dawn raid at the Corinthia Hotel by the Libya Revolutionaries Operations Room, which later told LANA that Zaidan was suspected of corruption.
