Libyan PM Ali Zeidan was captured from the hotel where he resides in Tripoli. He was held captive for hours but was then freed. No shots were fired. They believe that this was retaliation for the US special forces' raid that happend over the weekend to seize a Libyan al Qaeda suspect form the Libyan capital city of Tripoli. Weather the kidnapping was by armed militants or a pseudo-coup attempt with a meaning of reflecting the will of the Libyan people; it showed weakness in the Libyan government. Libyan government spokesman Mohammed Kaabar told the LANA news agency that Zidan was "set free." Also Zeidan thanked the guards who oversaw the operation, implying that there was a rescue operation by security forces.
