Mass grave of Christians killed by Islamic State found in Libya
“Mass grave of Christians killed by Islamic State found in Libya,” Catholic News Agency, December 30, 2018 (thanks to Orange Martyrs):
MISRATA, Libya – A mass grave of 34 Ethiopian Christians executed by the so-called Islamic State group in 2015 has reportedly been unearthed in Libya.
The bodies have been exhumed and will be eventually repatriated to Ethiopia, the Libyan interior ministry says.
Libyan government authorities found the mass grave Dec. 23 after obtaining information from arrested Islamic State members. The grave appears to be located on a farm near the coastal city of Sirte, 170 miles southeast of Misrata.
Islamic State gained control of Sirte in 2015, but United Nations-backed forces regained control of the city in December 2016 after months of deadly fighting.

We have to follow up on these red flags. Doesn't that meet the standard?"
