Tunisian workers kidnapped in Libya: foreign ministry

Tunisians working near the Libyan capital Tripoli have been kidnapped by a militia, Tunisia’s foreign ministry said, and a diplomatic source told AFP the number abducted was 14.

“The foreign ministry is following the predicament of the Tunisian citizens... (who were) kidnapped by armed Libyan elements near Zawiya,” the ministry said on its Facebook page late on Friday.

A human rights activist said that the armed group responsible for Thursday’s kidnapping was seeking the release of one of its members held in Tunisia.
