LNA battalion in Brak attacked, one dead
2017-08-19
[Libya Herald] A unit from the Libyan National Army’s 12th Battalion was attacked at dawn this morning near Brak al-Shatti by an gang. Three soldiers were maimed in the assault which took place at the Dabwat agricultural project south of Brak airbase. They were taken to the 2nd March Hospital in Sebha but one of them died from his injuries some hours later.

It is not known whom the attackers were. However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
there have been reports of remnants of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
force ejected from Sirte operating in the area. Alternatively, they could be linked to Ahmed al-Hasnawi, the hardline Islamist commander accused of being behind the massacre in May at the airbase in which 141 people died.
