The office for security coordination in Tripoli, Libya, Friday said on its Facebook page that the city’s mayor, Abdelraouf Bait Al-Mal, ”has been released”.
The office also stressed that the mayor had been held by ”illegal militia.”
Several sources suggested that the abductors could belong to a group of the Interior Ministry.
Other sources instead claimed that the mayor had been arrested on corruption charges.
