14 "executed" bodies found in Benghazi

Fourteen bodies with shots to the head were brought to a local hospital in Benghazi on Friday.

 

The unidentified bodies were reportedly found on Thursday and taken by members of the Red Crescent to a medical facility in Libya's second city.

UN envoy to Libya Martin Kobler said he was "utterly shocked and dismayed" by the killings, calling them a "war crime" in a Twitter post.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the executions.

Libya has been beset by chaos after former leader Muammar Gaddafi was toppled during the 2011 political turmoil.

Violent battles continue between militants and the forces of Major General Khalifa Haftar since the Libyan general launched operation "Dignity" against militant groups in Benghazi almost two years ago.
