Thirteen Egyptians were kidnapped in the Libyan city of Sirte, adding to seven that went missing last week in the war-torn North African country, Egypt’s state news agency said.
Libya is split between militias loyal to an internationally recognised government, which Egypt supports, and those allied to a rival government based in Tripoli that includes Islamist groups and politicians.
