Journalists Killed In Libya
Islamist militants have executed five journalists working for a TV station in eastern Libya. The journalists went missing in August when they left Tobruk after covering the inauguration of the Libyan parliament to travel to Benghazi. The trip to Benghazi went through Derna, an Islamist center and stronghold of Islamic State’s Libyan branch. Four of the reporters were Libyan, and one Egyptian; they all were employees of Barqa TV, a private news network that supports a federal Barqa/Cyrenaica province. Barqa was the birthplace of the Libyan revolution against former Libyan dictator Colonel Muammar Qaddafi. The execution of the journalists by throat slitting and the region where they were killed leads one to believe that the culprits for the killing are Islamic State terrorists.
The corpses of the journalists, killed by having their throats slit, were discovered by the Libyan military Monday in the forests outside of the city of Bayda. The military has not released information about speculation of when they were killed.
