A group of terrorists on Saturday attacked an oil field in southern Libya, killing two and kidnapping four others, Trend reported citing Xinhua. "Oil field 47 operated by (government-owned) Zueitina Oil Company in Zalla town was attacked by terrorists at dawn today, which killed two guards and kidnapped four others," said an official on condition of anonymity. The east-based army, which has been in control of southern Libya since January, also said it stopped a terrorist attack on the oil field in Zalla. This is the third terrorist attack on army positions in southern Libya in fewer than a month. Located some 650 km southeast of the Libyan capital Tripoli, Zalla contains five major oil fields which have repeatedly been attacked by IS affiliates.
