Gunmen in the Libyan capital have abducted the head of the country’s Olympic committee.
Salah al-Alam said assailants snatched his brother, Libyan Olympic Committee chief Ahmed Nabil al-Taher al-Alam on Sunday near the organisation’s offices in central Tripoli. He said there has been no contact with him since.
Salah al-Alam said he learned of the kidnapping from his brother’s friend, who was there when the abduction took place. The gunmen bundled al-Alam into a car and sped off, leaving the friend on the street.
Security officials said on Monday they are investigating. They didn’t provide any further details.
