Libyan troops clearing Sirte of remaining ISIL "fighters"

Forces aligned to Libya's UN-backed national unity government said they were hunting down the last remaining ISIL fighters in Sirte after the group's ouster from its former bastion.


Soldiers were said to be "chasing the last jihadists hiding in fewer than 10 houses" on Tuesday in the seafront district of Al-Giza al-Bahriya, the last strip to fall in the almost seven-month-long battle.

They also "managed to rescue a group of women and children that the defeated gangs of Daesh were using as human shields", the force backing the Government of National Accord (GNA) said on its Facebook page.
