Three ministers of the new Libyan parallel government were kidnapped today. This is what emerged from the speech of the new premier Fathi Bashagha at the swearing-in ceremony. Bashagha condemned the “cowardly act” perpetrated by an illegal armed group, “attacking some ministers” as they tried to reach Tobruk to take the oath.
“This brutal group has imprisoned (former Libyan ambassador to Italy, ed) the Foreign Minister, Hafed Gaddur, the Minister of Culture, Salha Al Druqi and the Minister of Technical Education Faraj
Khaleil “, Bashagha specified asking to” free them
immediately”.
According to several Libyan media, the car convoy was at the center of a fire conflict this morning around 7.
The kidnapping was allegedly carried out, said Abaadnews, “an armed group affiliated” to Libyan Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dbeibah.
