Chief of Libyan Olympic kidnapped

President of Libya's Olympic Committee

The president of Libya's Olympic Committee Nabil al-Alam was kidnapped by gunmen in the centre of Tripoli and taken to a secret location, a committee official told AFP on Monday.

"Nine gunmen posing as members of the Libyan army removed Mr. Alam from his car in the centre of the city at around 3:00 pm (1300 GMT) and took him to an unknown location," Alam's office chief Arafat Juwan said.

The army and interior ministry were not aware of any arrests, he added.

Alam's abduction comes a few days before the planned departure of Libya's five representatives to the London Olympic and Paralympic Games, which are set to begin on July 27.

Libyan athletes will be participating in judo, the marathon, the women's 100-metre dash and weightlifting.

Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), said that he had been in contact with the NOC in Libya.

"We are in contact to know about what happened," said the 70-year-old Belgian, who was giving a pre-London Games telephone conference from IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland.

"We expressed our grave concern and offered any possible help we can give.

"I have really no more details on what happened than the media do. Hopefully this will evolve favourably."

Before last year's revolt which toppled the regime of Moamer Kadhafi, the Libyan Olympic Committee was headed by the strongman's eldest son Mohammed, who has since sought refuge in Algeria with other family members.

Aishwarya Rai vs Kareena Kapoor: Bebo's Bad Karma Comes Back to Haunt Her

Aishwarya Rai

It was not so long ago Kareena Kapoor Aishwarya Rai mocked on heroin, but it seems that in doing so, Kareena built more than a bit of bad karma, and now she has been unceremoniously dumped from a major project film on their own.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who earlier this year signed Kareena to star in his film Ram Leela, has decided that a married heroin (Bebo and her boyfriend Saif Ali Khan are set to marry this fall) is inadequate for the role. Ram Leela is essentially a drama of Romeo and Juliet and public Bhansali decided not to accept a marriage of Juliet, no matter how young Kareena is (or can be done to look). Of course it is a measure ridiculous and very old fashioned (like the notion that married actresses must give up her career altogether-as Kareena's sister Karisma did, once they are married).
