Libya exhumes 11 bodies from mass grave in Sirte
TRIPOLI, Libya – Libyan authorities have exhumed 11 bodies from a mass grave in the coastal city of Sirte.
In a statement, the General Authority for Research and Identification of Missing Persons said the mass grave was discovered on April 8 in Sirte’s Al-Giza Al-Bahriya District, adding that the corpses will be taken to laboratories for forensic investigation.
On December 17, 2016, the Libyan Government of National Accord announced the complete liberation of Sirte from the Daesh/ISIS group.
Discoveries of mass graves are common in war-torn Libya, especially in Tarhuna city, a former stronghold for warlord Khalifa Haftar who was active in the area between April 2019 to June 2020.
