Libya: Mass Grave With 18 Bodies Found in Former ISIS StrongholdCAIRO—Libyan authorities on Sunday said they have found 18 bodies buried in a mass grave in a former stronghold of the ISIS terrorist group along the conflict-stricken North African nation’s coast. The Missing Persons Authority said in a statement the bodies were unearthed in the Sabaa area of Sirte, a city in central Libya. Sirte, the birthplace of former longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi, fell under the control of ISIS terrorists between 2015 and 2016. Hundreds of alleged former ISIS terrorists remain incarcerated in Libyan prisons, many of whom are awaiting trial. In October, officials said they found 42 bodies in a mass grave in a school site in Sirte.
