The gravesites of four Filipino oil workers who were kidnapped and later executed by ISIS extremists in Libya six years ago have finally been located, the Philippine Embassy in Libya. The embassy said it was able to confirm the location of the remains of the four Filipinos in a cemetery in the eastern coastal city of Derna on Monday. However, due to the unstable security situation, the embassy was not able send a team to Derna to search for the four Filipinos. The embassy said the volunteers were convinced that the bodies they buried there belonged to the six kidnapped foreign oil workers. “We are indebted to our Libyan friends for making this possible.” Charge d’Affaires Cato said.
