Mass grave of Christians slaughtered by Muslim terrorists discovered in Libya




A mass grave of murder Christians was discovered in Libya just days before Christmas the Libyan Interior Ministry has said.

The bodies of 34 Ethiopian Christians slaughtered by Muslim terrorists were discovered buried in a mass grave near the Libyan town of Sirte on the Mediterranean coast. It is believed they were massacred by an affiliate of the Islamic State in 2015.

Libyan authorities obtained the information about the mass grave from captured Islamic State fighters.

This atrocity came shortly after Islamic militants beheaded 20 Egyptian Coptic Christians on a Libyan beach, footage of which was shared online.

Jihadis loyal to the Islamic State remain active in Libya and the group has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing on Christmas Day in the Capital of Tripoli which killed three people, including a senior government official.
