Tunis, 17 September 2017:
Abdul Raouf Kara’s Rada Deterrence Force appears to have abandoned an attempt to compel Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG) commander Ibrahim Jadhran to give himself up since it has released members of his family that it had seized in Tripoli.
National Oil Corporation (NOC) chief Mustafa Sanalla claimed that the three-year eastern oil export terminals’ blockade by Jadhran’s PFG cost Libya $100 billion in lost revenues. A warrant for Jadhran’s arrest was issued this May by Tripoli attorney-general Sadik Asour.
In March, Jadhran was reported to have been seized at Nalut by the gang he had been paying to smuggle him back to Libya via the Dahiba-Wazen crossing on the Tunisian border. It is unclear if he later managed to purchase his freedom or is still being held.
The fact that Rada thought that by seizing some of his family members from their Tripoli homes, he might surrender himself, suggests that he did indeed escape his border kidnappers.
