BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) Forces of Libya s eastern military strongman said they arrested a suspected senior local Islamic State fighter on Sunday in a southwestern town known to be a militant hideout.
Mohammed Miloud was once an IS leader in the coastal city of Sirte, held by the group before they were driven out in a U.S.-backed campaign in 2016, spokesman Ahmed al-Mosmari said.
The militant leader was allegedly involved in several attacks in the country’s so-called oil crescent whose ports and oil fields account for the lion’s share of Libya’s oil production and exports, he said.
