利比亞西部遭空襲40人喪生

An airstrike in western Libya near the country's border with Tunisia killed at least 40 people early Friday, according to local officials.

The strike destroyed a building in the town of Sabratha, west of Tripoli, in a region known to have an Islamic State presence.

The New York Times reported that U.S. warplanes struck an Islamic State camp in Sabratha early Friday, killing more than 30 recruits.

The paper quoted a Western official as saying the target was a "senior Tunisian operative" linked to two major terrorist attacks in Tunisia last year.

A Pentagon spokesperson told VOA he is aware of the report, and is checking into it, but said he has "no info to pass along at this time."利比亞地方官員稱，靠近突尼斯邊界的利比亞西部地區星期五早上遭遇空襲，至少40人喪生。

空襲摧毀了的黎波里以西薩柏拉達鎮的一棟建築，據信伊斯蘭國組織經常在那裏出沒。

紐約時報報道說，美軍戰機星期五早上襲擊了伊斯蘭國組織在薩柏拉達鎮的一個營地，打死30多名被招募人員。

紐約時報援引一名西方官員的話說，襲擊目標是“一名突尼斯高層特工”，此人與去年突尼斯發生的兩起重大恐怖襲擊事件有關。

五角大樓的一位發言人告訴美國之音說，他了解這一報道，目前正在調查，但表示他“暫時沒有可以發佈的信息。”
