Libya Violence: Foreign Oil Workers Kidnapped

Islamic State (IS) militants are said to have kidnapped nine foreign oil workers in a raid in Libya, when they reportedly beheaded eight

guards.
Four Filipinos, an Austrian, a Bangladeshi, a Czech and a Ghanaian were taken with an unidentified ninth foreigner, Austrian officials say.
The foreign ministry in Vienna said IS had attacked the al-Ghani oil field.
A Libyan army spokesman told the BBC the field 700km (440 miles) south-east of Tripoli had been attacked on Friday.
One oil worker died of a heart attack after seeing the beheadings, he added.
The foreigners were working for oilfield management company Value Added Oilfield Services (VAOS) at the field.
VAOS said it did not know which militants had carried out the attack or where the oil workers had been taken.
It insisted that none of its employees had "died or were physically harmed in the attack".
