Tripoli, 15 September 2014:

There are unconfirmed reports this evening that armed men have abducted two young relatives of Libya’s ambassador to the UK in a raid on his Tripoli home.

Ambassador Mahmud Al-Nacua, from Zintan, has served in London, first as the NTC’s representative and since 2012 as the official envoy.  Nacua, a writer and journalist, was jailed for two years under Qaddafi. He left Libya and became a founding member of the National Front for the Salvation of Libya.

Nacua could not be contacted in London this evening.
