Misrata fighter Lekraik, who detained UN's #Libya GNA PM Sarraj in January, was kidnapped & likely killed today in Tripoli by Haitem Tajouri
Lekraik's car was found with blood and no body, in the manner of killings by Gaddafi security who have returned with Sarraj & Maitieg #Libya
Tripoli #Libya: UN GNA's Sarraj in very weak position. Much speculation he will soon flee. Doing this to Lekraik shows some militia strength
FYI: After humiliating UN-appointed #Libya PM Sarraj in January, Lekraik moved from Mahjoub to Marsa - both major Misrata katibas/brigades.
