Libya ex-minister found dead in the Danube
2:01 AM
The body of Libya's former Oil Minister Shukri Ghanem has been found in the Danube River, in Vienna. A police officer said there were no signs of violence to Mr Ghanem's body. The former prime minister, 69, worked as a consultant for a Vienna-based company. He apparently left his home early on Sunday, police added. Mr Ghanem defected from Libya as the country was engulfed in the uprising against Col Muammar Gaddafi last year. He served as Libyan prime minister from 2003 to 2006 and then as oil minister until 2011, Bbc.co.uk reported.
