(ANSAmed) Twenty one Egyptian Christians kidnapped by ISIS Jihadists in Libya around New Years Day are feared dead, after Twitter accounts linked to the ‘Islamic State’ (ISIS) have announced they have been slaughtered.
There has been no official confirmation by the Egyptian government but Egyptian media believe the news to be reliable, as two pictures were being shown from the same Twitter account, which appears to evidence, ‘the Islamic State carrying out the executions of Coptic (Christian) prisoners in the Province of Tripoli.
According to Shoebat.com ISIS Jihadists took 21 Christians to the beach and beheaded all of them, subsequently releasing a statement in its magazine that Muslims everywhere must kill Coptic Christians wherever they are found.
The 21 Coptic Christians were reportedly abducted in the Libyan City of Sirte in two separate instances. According to FOX News seven of the Christians were kidnapped on the 31 December and the other fourteen were abducted on the 03 January, according to Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Badr Abdel Atty.
On the 03 January, I wrote here that according to the LA Times Christians have specifically been singled out as targets of ISIS, they include a Coptic couple and their daughters who were murdered in December, when an unidentified gunman burst into their home in City of Serte, about 220 miles southwest of Libya Tripoli.
