The head of the information technology department of the Central Bank of Libya was kidnapped by an unknown group on the morning of August 18, and several other employees of the bank were also threatened.
The Tripoli-based Central Bank of Libya said on August 18 that it would suspend all operations and not return to work until a senior bank employee who was kidnapped earlier in the day was released.
The bank's head of information technology, Musaav Muslim, was kidnapped by an unidentified group on the morning of August 18.
In its statement, the bank affirmed its opposition to any acts of opposition from outlawed groups.
The bank also said that several other of its employees had also been threatened, so it would suspend operations until such acts stopped and relevant authorities intervened.
The bank in Tripoli is the only internationally recognized bank allowed to hold the country's oil revenues. It has recently been besieged by armed groups.
In a meeting with the bank's governor, Sadiq Kabir, last week, US Ambassador to Libya Richard Norland warned that attempts to change the bank's management by force could cause the North African country to lose access to international financial markets.
