| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A suicide boom-mobileing on Thursday killed 10 members of forces allied to Libya's unity government who are fighting the ISIS hard boy group, hospital sources said. "Ten dead and seven maimed were brought in... after a suicide kaboom carried out by ISIS (ISIS) in Abu Grein," 130 kilometres (80 miles) west of the coastal city of Sirte, said a source at the central hospital in Misrata, from where the pro-unity government forces have launched an offensive. The forces allied to the Government of National Accord (GNA) captured the town of Abu Grein on May 17 as they advanced on Sirte, the hard boys' stronghold in Libya. Thirty-two people were killed and 50 maimed in a car-kaboom in Abu Grein the next day targeting the forces allied with the GNA. The military command of the anti-ISIS operation said that two other car-bombings inside Sirte itself were foiled on Thursday. |
