Adviser to Libyan PM seized in Tripoli

TRIPOLI - An adviser to Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan was grabbed from his car by unknown assailants on the outskirts of Tripoli on Sunday evening, a government source said.
Mohamed Ali Ghatous, in his 50s, was seized after passing a checkpoint into the eastern Tripoli suburb of Tajoura. A source at Zeidan's office said Ghatous was a senior adviser to the prime minister.
"Nobody knows where he is. They left his car behind, probably they thought it could be traced," he said.
Ghatous had last spoken to his family by mobile phone from his car before he was taken. An investigation is under way.
