A group of armed men kidnapped ENKA workers while they were travelling from the airport in the southwestern Libyan town of Ubari. Three of the employees have been identified as Turkish.
Although the attackers succeeded in mounting a lethal attack, security forces backed by French and UN troops managed to rescue 36 residents including 13 French citizens.
Six survivors walked to a remote village where they said that 44 people, mostly from Ghana and Nigeria and including three babies and two other children, died of dehydration, according to the department head for the Red Cross in the Bilma region.
