It was the second U.S. air raid in the violence-wracked North African country targeting the fast-expanding militant group in the past three months.

A U.S. strike on an ISIS militant camp in Libya killed two Serbian embassy employees who were kidnapped in the area in November, Serbia’s foreign minister said Saturday.

“Unfortunately as a consequence of this attack on the Islamic State (ISIS) in Libya, the two of them lost their lives,” Ivica Dacic told reporters, referring to Friday’s air strike.

Embassy communications chief Sladjana Stankovic and her driver Jovica Stepic were kidnapped on November 8 in the coastal city of Sabratha, 70 kilometres (42 miles) west of Tripoli, from a convoy of cars heading to the Tunisian border.

The U.S. strike, which targeted a militant training camp near Sabratha, killed dozens of people, probably including Noureddine Chouchane, a senior ISIS group operative behind attacks in Tunisia, U.S. officials said Friday.

It was the second U.S. air raid in the violence-wracked North African country targeting the fast-expanding militant group in the past three months.

Belgrade maintains an embassy in Tripoli, and Serbian citizens, mostly doctors and other medical staff as well as construction workers, have been working in Libya for decades due to close bilateral relations during Kadhafi’s regime.
