IS murders five more in Sirte
[Libya Herald] In the last 48 hours in Sirte, IS has reportedly murdered five more people, shooting them in the back of the head and then crucifying their bodies.The latest victim is said to have been Ali Ben Nail, whose corpse was hung from a former advertising hoarding on the Zafran roundabout at the western edge of the town. He was picked up from his home because the bully boyz believed he had taken part in the August uprising against IS largely by members of the Ferjani clan. Yesterday the bully boyz murdered four other young men, including two brothers, in the same manner and posted pictures of the killings on social media. The victims had been accused of apostasy though some sources claim that some of them at least has also taken part in August's revolt. They have been named as Ali and Mahjub Fitouri, Ramadan Ferjani and Saleh Al-Mahdani. Sources claim relatives have been told that the bodies must be left hanging for three days. These latest murders have taken place against rising tension in the town. There have been reports of increased aerial surveillance by unidentified aircraft, including drones. Alwasat has said that IS is constructing a three-kilometre defensive trench in farmland outside of Sirte. Posted by: Fred 2016-02-15 |
