LONDON: Libya's intelligence chief Abdul Qader Al-Tuhami died of a heart attack on Saturday in the capital Tripoli, the country's presidential council said.
In a statement, the council offered condolences to his family and colleagues, describing Al-Tuhami as “one of Libya’s loyal sons.”
The Libyan Government of National Accord's presidential council appointed Al-Tuhami as the deputy head of the Libyan Intelligence Service for Security Affairs on April 24, 2017, and he was the acting head of the service until he died.
Al-Tuhami, who hails from Aqar Al-Shati, south Libya, served as an officer in the security apparatus under toppled leader Muammar Gaddafi.
