Tunisia: Former Libyan Prime Minister Al-Baghdadi Al-Mahmoudi has been arrested from Tunisia, Press TV citing Tunisian officials on Thursday.
According to the report Mahmoudi was detained for illegally entering Tunisia. The Arabic news channel, however, did not elaborate on the time and place of his arrest.
There was no immediate official confirmation of Mahmoudi’s arrest from either Tunisian officials or Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC) figures.
On Thursday, Libya’s NTC said they have occupied all districts of the desert city of Sabha, situated 750 kilometers (466 miles) south of Tripoli.
“Our revolutionaries are controlling 100 percent of Sabha city. However, there are some pockets of resistance by snipers. This resistance is hopeless,” NTC military spokesman Ahmed Bani told reporters in Tripoli.
He added, “We are doing our best looking for the tyrant (Gaddafi). There is some news here and there that he ran away from Sabha to another place but it cannot be confirmed.”
