A militia commander affiliated with the Interior Ministry told a private Libyan TV station that the prime minister was freed when members of a Tripoli-based militia stormed the house where he was held hostage.
Haitham al-Tajouri, commander of the so-called “Reinforcement Force,” told Al-Ahrar television that his men exchanged fire with the captors but that Zidan was not hurt.
“He is now safe in a safe place,” he said.
