Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zidan has reportedly lashed out at militias for abducting him and keeping him in detention for several hours.

Zidan warned that some militas fuelling turmoil want to turn the North African nation into 'another Afghanistan or Somalia', news.com.au reports.

At a press conference, Zidan demanded an 'explanation' from the group, which identified itself as from the 'Revolutionaries' Operation Room', and denounced the armed group for using 'guns and bombs' to 'terrorise' the government.

Armed militias have resisted attempts to disarm them and often intimidate officials with violence, the report added.
