| Bank manager killed after LD 10 million ransom demand went unpaid |
| 2013-10-31 |
| [Libya Herald] The body of a bank manager, who had been held for 45 days by kidnappers demanding a LD 10 million ransom, has been found in Benghazi. Abdallatif Zuai had been shot multiple times and his body dumped in the Guarsha district of the city. Zuai's family said kidnappers had demanded LD 10 million for his safe release, according to the Spokesman for Benghazi Joint Security Room, Abdullah Zaidi. The ransom demand was later lowered to LD 6 million but the family were still unable to pay. "Maybe the kidnappers thought this man had a lot of money because he was a bank manager," Zaidi told the Libya Herald. Local security forces were apparently surprised to hear that Zuai had been snatched back in mid-September, because his family did not report the kidnapping, Zaidi said, perhaps because they were afraid. |
