Hannibal Qadhafi, the high-living businessman son of the late Libyan dictator,was freed late on Friday, several hours after he was kidnapped in Lebanon by an unknown armed group, security sources said.
Lebanese police freed Qadhafi and were set to question him, one source said, without specifying where the businessman had been released.
A second security source said Qadhafi had been “kidnapped by an armed group in the region of Bekaa while he was travelling from Syria, before being released on Friday night in the same region”.
Bekaa is an eastern stronghold of Lebanese movement Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s National News Agency said Hannibal Qadhafi’s kidnappers had demanded “information on Mussa Sadr”, a Lebanese leader who went missing in 1978.
