Two Czech diplomats to coordinate search for missing Czech in Libya

The government emergency team met again on Sunday to discuss the case of the Czech citizen, who went missing after the attack on an oil field in Libya. Islamic State supporters on Friday attacked the al-Ghani oil field in southern Libya, killing 11 local guards and taking at least seven foreign workers hostage, including an Austrian and Czech citizen. Two Czech diplomats appointed by Foreign Minister Lubomír Zaorálek will be heading to Libya to coordinate the search; one is to leave by Sunday evening and the other one within the next 48 hours. The Czech cabinet is set to discuss the situation on Monday.
