ISIL reportedly kills 21 Egyptian hostages in Libya
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has
released a video purporting to show the killing of
21 Egyptian Coptic Christians kidnapped in Libya.
The footage released on Sunday appeared to
show 21 handcuffed hostages dressed in orange
jump suits being beheaded.
The video, titled “A message signed with blood to
the nation of the cross”, says the killings were
directed at “the hostile Egyptian Church”.
The group said the killings were revenge for
“Muslim women persecuted by Coptic crusaders
in Egypt”.
There was no immediate comment from the
Egyptian government.
In January, ISIL’s branch in Libya, claimed it had
abducted 21 Christians in two separate
operations in Sirte.
