The 21-year-old Bekhit Nageh Efrank Ebeid was caught together with two other Africans as they entered Libya. The IS Barqa Province posted a photo of the young Sohagi with the comment: “In a security operation, an Egyptian crusader, a Ghanaian crusader, and a Nigerian crusader were captured”.

IS is notorious for beheading its Christian captives. Last February saw the gruesome beheading of 20 Copts and one Ghanaian, a crime to which Egypt retaliated with air strikes against IS targets in Libya.

Egypt’s Foreign Ministry has repeatedly issued warnings against travelling to Libya, especially to areas held by IS.
