13 Egyptian workers kidnapped in Libya, families say

Residents of Al-Sheikh Massoud village in Minya said they had received phone calls from their fmaily members working in Libya, telling them they had been kidnapped.
 
According to the residents, 13 people have been abducted, and the kidnappers demand a ransom of 15,000 Libyan dinars for each of them. 
 
The residents said they had submitted complaints to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, calling for an intervention to secure the release of their families. They fear that Islamic State might be responsible for the abduction, in which case the kidnapped might be killed.
