Libya: Briton 'Found Dead With Gun Wounds'

A British man has been found dead in western Libya, with reports suggesting he had suffered gunshot wounds.

The Foreign Office said: "We are aware of the tragic death of a British national in Libya. We stand ready to provide consular assistance."

A woman from New Zealand was found dead alongside the Briton, according to a Libyan security source.

The pair are said to have been found near the Mellitah oil and gas complex, about 60 miles west of Libyan capital Tripoli.

The complex is co-owned by Italian company Eni

Sky News Foreign Affairs correspondent Lisa Holland said: "There are reports that these two people were teachers which begs the question 'what were they doing in this area'.

"What we don't know at the moment is whether they were connected with the oil and gas complex."

She added that the deaths, along with the unrelated death of an American teacher a month ago, show "Libya is a very unstable, insecure place at the moment without a coherent police or army".

After the US teacher was shot dead in the eastern city of Benghazi, the Foreign Office said further attacks against Westerners were likely.

The Mellitah facility is co-owned by Italy's Eni and Libya's state-owned National Oil Corp (NOC).
