The Hijacking of Libya In a chance encounter at an international airport, I asked a couple of members of the Libyan General National Congress about their reaction to the abduction of the Libyan Prime Minister by armed men from his hotel bed at dawn. Their nonchalant response indicated that the matter was of no great significance. Only then did it dawn on me that I have previously failed to see the abduction of the Prime Minister in its proper context, which is that of a whole country being hijacked. Walking to my gate, I wondered what standing these gentlemen expect their diplomatic passports will enjoy among their hosts, when everyone recognises that Libya is rapidly becoming a mere geopolitical construct of the past. arabi.assafir/article.asp?srch=The+Hijacking+of+Libya&aid=1376&refsite=arabi&reftype=articles&refzone=articles
