IS detonates two car bombs near Libya's oil fields

Libya’s local Islamic State affiliate says it has detonated two car bombs at a checkpoint near the country’s oil fields and clashed with fighters allied with the internationally recognised government there.

Ali al-Hassi, a spokesman for the forces that control the majority of Libya’s oil fields, says six of their fighters were killed in the attacks on Monday, along with five IS fighters in the coastal port town of Siddra.
