‘Nothing to indicate’ Libya strike killed two Serbs

US officials said the site targeted in the strikes in Sabratha, western Libya, was a camp used by up to 60 militants, including Tunisian Noureddine Chouchane, blamed for two attacks on tourists in Tunisia past year in which dozens were killed.

Two Serbian embassy employees who were being held hostage by Isis were killed in an air strike targeting the group in Libya.

Peter Van Buren blew the whistle on State Department waste and mismanagement during Iraqi reconstruction in his first book, We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People. “Unfortunately, as a outcome of the attack against Isis in Libya, the two of them lost their lives”, Mr Dacic said, using another acronym for the Islamic State group. “We will seek official explanation from both Libya and the United States about the available facts and the selection of targets”. “This is information that has to be checked”. But he said the demands had been “impossible” to meet by either the families or the government.

Davis said, “they’ve not seen any credible information that these people were killed in the airstrike we conducted”. Serbian ambassador Oliver Potezica, who escaped unharmed and was traveling in the three-vehicle convoy with his wife and two sons aged 8 and 14, later recounted the attack.

“The attack happened when one of the embassy cars was hit from behind”.

Another government, backed by Islamist-affiliated militias known as Libya Dawn, controls Tripoli and much of western Libya.

Against this background there has been icnreasing discussion of the need to step up the military campaignagainst Isis in Libya with President Obama ready to make a greater commitment as long as the Libyan national unity government starts to function and so long as allies such as Frane, Italy and the United Kingdom play their part, the New york Times said.(ANSAmed).

Post-Gadhafi Libya has now become a failed state as the fragmented political after the dictators unsavory demise led to a multi-sided civil war involving hundreds of armed militia groups each carving its own piece of territory or areas under its own sphere of influence.
