ABU DHABI (Reuters) - Islamists militants in Libya have probably kidnapped up to 25 soldiers and killed five others in the eastern city of Benghazi, an army commander said on Wednesday, as the prime minister travelled to the United Arab Emirates to seek support for his embattled government.
Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni has called for the international community to help fight terrorism in the oil- producing country, which has slid towards anarchy three years after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi. Last month, the capital, Tripoli, fell to an armed group, forcing the elected parliament to relocate to the remote eastern town of Tobruk.
