TRIPOLI - 12 October 2017: Thirteen Daesh suspects have been captured in Misrata in northwestern Libya, according to a security source, a week after a deadly suicide bombing on a court in the city.

The group fought security forces for several hours before they surrendered, said the source, adding that the fight left a Daesh suspect dead and three troops injured.

The city has been witnessing arrests among local fighters on suspicion of supporting the terrorist group. The arrests followed a suicide blast that hit a court in the city, where four people were killed and scores others were injured.
