A US airstrike killed 11 suspected IS militants in southern Libya, US Africa Command said, its second reported raid in a week against the extremist group that once controlled a key coastal city.
The strike was carried out around the town of Murzuq, the same location where a
September 19 attack was assessed to have left eight extremists dead, according to statements.
IS took root in Libya after the ouster of Moammar Al Qaddafi, seizing the central city of Sirte in 2015 and threatening to use it as a launchpad for attacks in the OPEC member and neighbouring countries.
It was driven out after a year by a coalition of Libyan armed groups.
