(Reuters) - Libya's central bank governor Sadiq al-Kabir said he and other senior bank staff had been forced to leave the country to "protect out lives" from potential attacks by armed militia, the Financial Times reported on Friday.
"Militias are threatening and terrifying bank staff and are sometimes abducting their children and relatives to force them to go to work," Kabir told the newspaper via telephone.
