The daughter of Libya's former intelligence chief has been abducted after leaving a prison in Tripoli.
Justice Minister Salah al-Marghani said police had been escorting Anoud Abdullah al-Senussi from al-Rayoumi prison on Monday afternoon when they were ambushed by heavily armed gunmen.
The kidnappers opened fire on them before seizing Ms Senussi, he added.
Ms Senussi had just finished a 10-month prison sentence for entering Libya with a forged passport in October 2012.
She was arrested after reportedly trying to visit her father, Abdullah al-Senussi, in jail.
He is being detained for his alleged role in crimes committed during the rule of Muammar Gaddafi.
He is also wanted by the International Criminal Court, which has accused him of responsibility for crimes against humanity during the uprising that ousted Gaddafi in 2011.
Judicial police officers were escorting Ms Senussi to the Tripoli's airport to board a flight with relatives to the southern city of Sebha when their convoy was ambushed, Mr Marghani said.
"The convoy was ambushed by five vehicles. [The gunmen] were armed to the teeth and started firing their weapons, but it quickly became clear that they wanted to take her. No-one was injured.
"The incident took place about 50m away from the gate of the prison."
Mr Marghani appealed for "hints" about the incident, and said he expected everyone, particularly "revolutionaries" to help find Ms Senussi.
