It added that the reasons for his seizure were unknown, but Tripoli Brigade accused the minister of corruption and using its name to frighten the ministry's department directors and employees.

"The minister will be referred to the Office of Public Prosecutor." The brigade said.

Meanwhile, Skirmishes broke out last night between Tripoli Brigade and Misrata's Al-Mahjoob Brigade around the Prime Minister's Office in Assika Road over minister Al-Gaddar's seizure. No casualties reported.
