The terrorist Daesh group in Libya claimed responsibility for the death of two Tunisian journalists, who had been missing in eastern Libya since August.

The group posted an "audio recording" on Twitter depicting the death of Sofiane Chourabi and Nadhir Ktari by shooting, the Libyan news agency reported.

The two journalists working for Barqa TV had been missing since August, when they set off for Benghazi from the eastern city of Tobruk after covering the inauguration of the country's elected parliament there. Their route took them through Derna, a militant Islamist hotspot.
