Tripoli: An Emirati arrested in Libya's capital in 2015 on suspicion of espionage has been killed by a member of the intelligence services who was himself shot dead, Tripoli's state prosecutor said.Seddiq Al Sour told a news conference that the detained man was arrested in November 2015 and awaiting trial on charges of links to Dubai's police force. "He claimed to be a businessman with no ties to Dubai police but intelligence agents found photographs of sensitive sites on his phone, including of the Turkish embassy," Sour said. "A member of Libyan intelligence killed the Emirati citizen before being gunned down be security forces," the prosecutor added, without giving a date for the incident. Police in Dubai, a member of the United Arab Emirates, have denied links to the unnamed man but said he had served as a sergeant with the force until five years ago.
