US Raids Kill 41 in Libya

PEACE campaigners warned against a return to war in Libya yesterday after the US killed 41 people in air raids.

Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said US F-15 jets flying from bases in Europe had bombed a suspected Islamic State (Isis) training camp near the western Libyan town of Sabratha early yesterday.

A witness in the city said he heard two explosions at 3.30am coming from the nearby village of Qasr Talel. He said a house belonging to Abdel-Hakim al-Mashawat, known locally as an Isis militant, was targeted.
