(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) The White House Sunday evening condemned a video purportedly showing a mass execution of Ethiopian Christians in Libya by terrorists affiliated with Daesh.
"We express our condolences to the families of the victims and our support to the Ethiopian government and people as they grieve for their fellow citizens," National Security Council spokesperson Bernadette Meehan said in a statement.
"This atrocity once again underscores the urgent need for a political resolution to the conflict in Libya to empower a unified Libyan rejection of terrorist groups," she added.
In claiming responsibility for the massacre, Daesh posted a graphic video showing men kneeling on a beach and beheaded. Others are shot in the back of the head.
