Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zidan has been reportedly abducted by rebels and taken to an undisclosed location.
A hotel clerk, witness to the abduction, said that armed rebels escorted Zidan from the Corinthian Hotel in Tripoli into a convoy of waiting cars.
According to the CNN, the witness said that no gunfire was shot during the incident adding that the gunmen were respectful and caused no trouble.
The report added that Zidan's office initially called the abduction a 'rumor' on its official Facebook page but later posted a note which read as it was 'coerced by kidnappers to deny the report'.
