VIENNA, March 4 (Reuters) - Austria widened an asset freeze list on Friday to include a top official at the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) and said it would question him about possible links to Muammar Gaddafi's inner circle.

The move against LIA deputy chief Mustafa Zarti, who has an Austrian passport, follows international sanctions on Gaddafi's family and associates.
