ISIS captures 88 Eritrean Christians in Libya
The defense official confirmed initial reports of the mass kidnapping after seeing a recent intelligence report. The convoy was ambushed by militants south of Tripoli before dawn this past Wednesday morning.
Meron Estafanos, the co-founder of the Stockholm-based International Commission on Eritrean Refugees, said that the group of migrants included "about 12 Eritrean Muslims and some Egyptians. They put them in another truck and they put 12 Eritrean women Christians in a smaller pick-up".
Estafanos said that the militants had initially stopped the truck and demanded that the Muslims on board make themselves known. Everyone who responded was asked about the Koran and their religious observance in an attempt to catch Christians pretending to be Muslims.
The main body of the group was put back on the original truck. As the militants drove the vehicle away, at least 9 men attempted to escape by diving off the back of the truck. Estefanos said 3 of those who had escaped were safe, but still trying to get out of Libya. The fate of the others was not known.
Libya has become a jumping-off point for thousands of migrants from the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa who attempt the dangerous Mediterranean crossing to southern Europe. However, Libya's ongoing instability has led to an increased presence by ISIS and other terror groups, increasing the risk for Christians and other non-Muslims attempting the crossing.

Snoop Dogg sues beer-maker Pabst for millions of dollars
Under the terms of the agreement he was paid around $250,000 and further instalments of $20,000 for every tenth mention of the brand on social media, at concerts or during TV appearances.
But he believed his contract also entitles him to a portion of the sale price should Pabst sell the business before January 2016, as well as royalties on each case of Blast that was sold.
Consequently he is seeking 10 per cent of the net sales price paid to Pabst for its Colt 45 malt beer line, which was included in last year's sale to beer entrepreneur Eugene Kashper and an investment firm, so he is suing American beer company Pabst, claiming he is owed money from its sale last year.
Pabst wrote in a statement that it had not been contacted by Snoop Dogg or his representatives about the proceeds and cited the company's new management.
'We are investigating the matter and would be happy to talk to Snoop or his representatives to try to get to the bottom of this,' the statement said.
The lawsuit states Pabst told the rapper that the sale didn't trigger the clause entitling him to sale proceeds.
The deal to sell Pabst to Kashper and San Francisco-based TSG Consumer Partners LLC was finalized in November.
No purchase price was announced, but the lawsuit filed by the rapper's attorney, Alex Weingarten, states Pabst was reportedly sold for $700 million. It is unclear how much of the sale price was for the Colt 45 line of beers.
