Sources from Gharifa town, southwest of Sabha, said that local residents had found the body of the Director of Gharifa branch of Jamhuria Bank, Saleh Humaidan, dumped near the Tragan-Murzuk crossroad, more than two weeks after his abduction by an armed group.

The sources said Sunday that the kidnappers had asked the family of Humaidan to pay a ransom for his release just a day before his body was found.

Humaidan was kidnapped on April 25 by an armed group in front of his farm.
