By The Associated Press (CP) – 11 minutes ago

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordan's foreign ministry says four Jordanians have been arrested in Libya.

Last week, Jordan urged Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi to halt a bloody crackdown on his citizens. Jordan said it holds Libya responsible for the safety of foreigners living there.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammed Kayed said Monday that the reason for the arrest of the four Jordanians was unclear. He said it appears some were detained in the Libyan capital of Tripoli.

Kayed said Jordan's ambassador is pursuing the matter with Libyan authorities.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammed Kayed says Jordanian officials worked with Libyan authorities to secure the release, even as Moammar Gadhafi's bloody crackdown on opponents continued.

Kayed says he is "very glad" about the release and expects at least two of the men to return home on Tuesday.

Kayed says the reason for the arrest was not entirely clear but may involve a lack of ID papers as the workers tried to pass through checkpoints near the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
