10 Chadians Shot Dead in Southern Libya
2014-05-30
[An Nahar] Ten Chadian nationals have been bumped off in southern Libya by attackers in military uniform, the Chadian foreign ministry said Thursday.

"Ten Chadian nationals were rubbed out in cold blood in Sbeha by a group of gunnies, all of them wearing military uniforms," the ministry said in a statement.

It added that the attackers were all Libyan and described the incident as "an odious crime perpetrated against innocent civilians."

The circumstances of the incident were not immediately clear but N'Djamena said the Chadians were on their way home to Chad from the Libyan capital Tripoli

Migrants are chronically attacked by armed gangs prowling Libya's lawless desert south.

Neighboring Niger had earlier in May announced that eight of its nationals were killed in the same area.
