IS Bardo massacre mastermind reported killed in Sirte battle
 [Libya Herald] A senior IS commander in Libya, Tunisian Khaled Al-Shayeb, who Tunisian security forces thought they had killed last October is reported to have finally died this week in festivities with Misratan fighters to the west of Sirte.Shayeb, also known as Luqman Abu Sakhr, was believed to have been one of the Death Eaters who organised last year’s attack on the Bardo museum in Tunis in which 22 people, mostly foreign tourists, were murdered. The Tunisian National Guard claimed last year that Shayeb had been one of several commanders killed during an operation in Gafsa. The operations room of Al-Bunyan Al-Marsous which is running the Misratan push towards Sirte said that Shayeb’s body had been identified by detained terrorists. Posted by: Fred 2016-05-31 |
