Jordan's ambassador to Libya has been kidnapped by masked gunmen in Tripoli.
A spokesman for Libya's foreign ministry said that Fawaz al-Aitan was abducted in Tripoli's Mansour neighbourhood on Tuesday.
Masked men in civilian clothes driving a BMW and a pickup truck surrounded the ambassador's car, immediately opening fire.
The ambassador's driver was shot in the leg in the attack and has since been hospitalised. One of the ambassador's guards was shot in the arm.
The men, who spoke the Libyan dialect,
according to the Libyan foreign ministry, then forced the ambassador
into one of their vehicles and drove away at high speed.
The kidnappers called al-Aitan's wife and told her the ambassador was in good health.
