| Tripoli and Benghazi, 5 February 2017: A television journalist was grabbed in front of his Tripoli home today while his helpless wife looked on. The abductors told her that they wanted him for “investigations”. Ali Salem, head of programming at the state-owned Al-Watania TV was seized by unidentified gunmen at around 10am. His wife told Alwasat that she heard a noise outside. “I found him struggling with an unknown armed group, who forced him go with them,” she said. “I asked them to take his car and leave him alone but they answered that they want him for investigations.” His TV station has appealed for his release. |
