Three Libyan ISIS militants were
arrested in Libya Friday for kidnapping four workers from the
Bonatti engineering firm, two of whom later died in a
fire-fight.
The three have reportedly confessed, sources said.
Fausto Piano, Salvatore Failla, Filippo Calcagno and Gino
Pollicardo were kidnapped in Sabratha on July 19 2015.
Piano and Failla died on March 3 2016 during a firefight
while they were being moved by their captors.
Calcagno and Pollicardo were freed.
The three are accused of kidnapping with a terrorist aim
aggravated by the deaths of two hostages.
The three are already in jail in Tripoli on other charges.
They are Youssef Aldauody, the driver of the vehicle carrying
the Italians when they were abducted, and Ahmed Dhawadi and
Ahmad Elsharo.
They have reportedly confessed the four were taken hostage to
get a ransom to fund the terror group.
