Libyan militia 'arrests leader of Islamic State branch'

A Libyan militia loyal to the Islamist-backed government in Tripoli says it has arrested the leader of the so-called 'Islamic State' branch for a western city bombed by US forces last week.

The Special Deterrent Force said in a Facebook post that it had detained the city of Sabratha's 'IS' leader Mohammed Saad al-Tajouri - also known as Abu Sulieman - and killed dozens of 'IS' members in a gun battle.
