2016-04-04 |
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Two guards were killed in an attempted attack on an oil field in eastern Libya by suspected ISIS faceless myrmidons on Saturday, a guard’s front man said. Ali al-Hassi said guards had repelled the attack on Bayda field, about 250 km (155 miles) south of the major oil terminals of Es Sider and Ras Lanuf. A security official from the nearby town of Maradah said the faceless myrmidons were in a convoy of about 10 vehicles. Militants loyal to ISIS have carried out repeated attacks in the area, but have not taken control of any oil facilities. |
