Libya’s OPEC Governor Samir Kamal was kidnapped last week in the militia-held capital of Tripoli, two officials familiar with the matter said Tuesday, as turmoil continues to ravage the north African country almost four years after the collapse of its central government.
Mr. Kamal, who is also the head of the planning department at the Tripoli-based government’s oil ministry, was last seen Thursday, said one official at the National Oil Corp., or NOC.
“Nobody knows why [he was kidnapped],” the official said. “Some people know where he is,” he added.
Another NOC official confirmed that Mr. Kamal was missing, but declined to give further details. No one has claimed responsibility for his kidnapping.
Kidnappings have become common in Libya, where oil fields have been seized by armed groups and control is divided between two rival governments.
Oman might one day figure out that they too are part of the target that the Saudis are going after. Of course Saudis will come to their rescue, toss money their way. That way, Oman can be thankful for the Saudis undercutting them in them market.
Tactics vs. Strategery.
