Libya's Deputy Foreign Minister thought to have defected

It seems that the Libyan government may have suffered another high-profile defection.

Deputy Foreign Minister Abdelati Obeidi has crossed into neighbouring Tunisia, and from there has flown to Athens.

Tunisia's official news agency said Obeidi was not due on an official visit, nor had he been in contact with Tunisian officials.

Last week, Libyan Foreign Minister Musa Kusa crossed into Tunisia and then flew to the UK.
