Deposed leader Ali Zeidan makes fuel stop in Malta before travelling to "another European country", Malta's PM says.

The former Libyan prime minister, Ali Zeidan, has defied a travel ban and fled the country hours after parliament removed him from office in a no-confidence vote.

Zeidan was in Malta for two hours late on Tuesday on a refuelling stop before going to "another European country", the island's prime minister, Joseph Muscat, said.

Zeidan spent many years in exile in Germany and it is believed he may head there.
