Mathew VanDyke Confirmed Alive In Libya

BALTIMORE - The Libyan government has acknowledged that a Baltimore writer who went missing in the early weeks of the conflict there is alive and in custody, a Maryland congressman said Tuesday.

Libyan officials acknowledged that Matthew VanDyke was in custody during talks with Hungarian officials before Ramadan began last week, according to U.S. Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger's office. Hungary maintained a diplomatic mission in Tripoli long after other Western nations left. For months, Libyan officials said they had no information about VanDyke's whereabouts.
