(MENAFN) At least 14 forces loyal to East Libya-based military commander Haftar were murdered in an IS attack in southern Libya.
Furthermore, without elaborating, the source proclaimed that IS militants attacked the gate of Fuqaha town, 200 kilometers north of Sabha city.
The country has been wracked by turmoil since 2011, when a bloody popular uprising ended with the ouster and death of longtime leader Gaddafi.
Meanwhile, Libya's long-simmering social and political divisions have yielded three rivals seats of government and a host of competing militia groups.
