UNITED NATIONS, US: Islamic State jihadists are killing more civilians
in Libya than the other warring factions, but all sides are committing
"large-scale crimes," International Criminal Court chief prosecutor
Fatou Bensouda said on Thursday.
Of the 37 car and suicide bombings recorded this year in Libya, 27 have been attributed to the IS group, Bensouda said in a report to the UN security council.
IS fighters are executing Libyans for "perceived activities such as spying, homosexuality and social activism," she said.
Violent deaths are on the rise in Libya, where the United Nations is trying to broker a deal on a unity government that would be able to confront the growing threat from the Islamic State group.
No fewer than 60 people are killed per month in the north African country, which has been in turmoil since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
IS attacks have hit mostly the southern city of Sirte, but fighting in June drove out the jihadists from Derna, in the east.
