Libyan Prime Minister Briefly Kidnapped

Libya's Prime Minister Ali Zeidan has been freed after being kidnapped by armed gunmen early Thursday morning in what opposition rebels say was an arrest over "corruption and security issues" following a U.S. raid Saturday that captured a suspected al-Qaeda terrorist.

Government spokesman Mohammed Kaabar told local news agency, LANA, that Zeidan was on his way back to the office after being "set free."
