Abu Dhabi-based Sky News Arabia quoted Libyan security sources as saying that Zeidan was seized from a hotel where he was staying in the Libyan capital and taken to an unknown destination. Just recently, on 10/08/2013, Ali Zeidan, following the seizure of Sheikh al-Liby, has called on Western powers to help stop the spread of militancy in his country.
