(CNN) -- Libya's ex-interior minister who resigned his role to support anti-government protesters has been kidnapped, state media reported Wednesday.
Abdul Fattah Younis al Abidi told CNN that he resigned Monday after hearing that 300 unarmed civilians had been killed in Benghazi. He accused Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi of planning to attack civilians on a wide scale.
But hours later, state media reported that "gangs" in Libya's second-largest city, Benghazi, had kidnapped him.
