A Bangladeshi national along with eight other foreign nationals were taken hostage by the Islamic militant outfit (ISIS) from Al-Ghani oil field, the south of the city Sirte of Libya on March 6.
The Bangladesh Embassy in Tripoli has confirmed the abduction of Helal Uddin (PP No. B0156553, District: Jamalpur, Bangladesh), said a foreign ministry press release yesterday.
The incident took place when gunmen invaded the Al-Ghani oil field, killing 11 guards, beheading a number of them before local forces fought back to retake control.
The Embassy is trying to find out whereabouts of the kidnapped Bangladeshi.
“The embassy is also in close contact with National Oil Company (NOC) of Libya and the concerned company VAOS where the incident took place,” said the release.
