IS militants have kidnapped a North Korean doctor and his wife in Al-Noufleya, eastern Sirte, when they were on their way to Tripoli after having finished their duty in Jalu hospital, while their car driver was released yesterday.

A source from inside the hospital indicated that the sixty-year-old NKorean doctor has been working in Jalu for years, reaffirming that the North Korean embassy is keeping a round-the-clock contact with different parties to find out his and his wife's whereabouts.
