The latest, Jad Abdulmasahi Abdulmalik was found with multiple gunshot wounds. There appears to be an increased targeting of Egyptian Christians by militants in Libya who come to find work in Libya.
03/30/2014 Libya (Libya Herald) – Another Egyptian Christian has been murdered in Benghazi. The body of Jad Abdulmasahi Abdulmalik was taken to Benghazi Medical Centre this morning having been found in Gwarsha district. In his later 30s, according to a source at the hospital, he had been shot several times, including in the head.
The Egyptian foreign ministry says he was shot by a armed group while unloading vegetables at a shop.
At the beginning of this month, an Egyptian Christian was found shot dead in Jarutha 30 kilometres from Benghazi, the day after another was shot at his grocery stall in Majouri district. Just over a month ago, seven Egyptian Christians were found executed in the same Jaroutha area.
