Cairo, February 16 (RHC)-- Egypt has bombed what it calls Islamic State targets in Libya after the group released a video showing the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians in Libya. The victims are led on to a beach dressed in orange jumpsuits like the prisoners at Guantánamo Bay and then beheaded one by one.
The prisoners were all migrant workers from Egypt kidnapped over the past two months. Egypt has declared a week of mourning and bombed what it described as Islamic State training camps and facilities.
Another group of Egyptian workers were kidnapped in Libya over the weekend. The video is the first to be released showing an ISIS beheading outside of its strongholds in Syria and Iraq.
