The Islamic State jihadist group today claimed responsibility for a suicide attack that killed dozens of people in the Libyan coastal city of Zliten a day earlier.
The statement, published online in Arabic, said IS member Abdallah al-Muhajir "detonated a truck bomb in the middle of a base belonging to the apostate Libyan forces in the city of Zliten... Killing nearly 80 of them and wounding 150".
