Tunisia shuts Libya consulate after abducted workers freed: Minister

Tunis: Tunisia is shutting its consulate in the Libyan capital following the abduction of 10 staffers, the foreign minister said Friday, after announcing all of the workers had been freed.

"After this serious incident (kidnapping), we have decided to close the consulate in Tripoli," Taieb Baccouche told reporters, shortly after announcing the release of the consulate workers abducted by an armed militia last week.
