-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



An alleged victim of rape by Gaddafi's forces in Libya remains missing
four days after she was arrested for telling her story to international
journalists. The woman, Eman al-Obeidi, was detained after bursting into
a hotel full of reporters in Tripoli and recounting her ordeal. She has
not been in public since. Obeidi's mother said she was offered bribes to
pressure her daughter to recant her accusations.
