24. Article of guy who was imprisoned by Gaddafi's forces for 42 days:
http://bit.ly/euzltG">Were sure they would kill me
NRK got Ammar al-Hamdan on the phone after he had come to Tunisia in the evening.

He says he was accused of being a double agent, on commission from both Norway and Qatar. Al Jazeera has its headquarters in Qatar, and this may be the reason why he was accused of spying for the Arab country.

He is hugely relieved to have been freed, and he says that a period he was sure he would be killed. His colleagues were released before him, and it led him to believe that the Libyan secret service would kill him.

The Norwegian citizen with Palestinian and Iraqi origin are happy tonight, so glad that it is difficult for him to describe it.

- Gaddafi has served 42 years in power. I have been imprisoned for 42 days, and when I was released I felt as though I was born again, "he said in an emotional interview with NRK.
