During the revolution Zeidan served as the National Transitional Council's Europe envoy, and is credited as having played a key role in persuading French President Nicolas Sarkozy to support the anti-Qadaffy forces... while he was in a hotel in the Libyan capital Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... According to the sources, an gang raided the hotel "Al-Sharq" in downtown Tripoli, where Zeidan lives, and taken him to an unknown destination. This is the second time Zeidan has been kidnapped.
