(UPI) At least 13 Coptic Christians were abducted from their homes by ISIS Jihadists in Libya.
According to the BBC 15 armed men in masks stormed a residential complex early Saturday, going room-to-room, forcing residents to show identification before separating Muslims and Christians, one witness said, the Jihadists handcuffed and took into custody 13 Coptic Christians, all reportedly men.
“They had a list of full names of Christians in the building. While checking IDs, Muslims were left aside as the Christians were grabbed,” Hanna Aziz told the Associated Press.
