Sirte, Libya— A fighter with Libyan forces affiliated to the Tripoli government is helped by comrades after being shot by a sniper on October 2. On the same day, a sniper killed Dutch photojournalist Jeroen Oerlemans. The U.S.-backed forces have driven Islamic State (ISIS) fighters from most of Sirte, which was the militant group’s main stronghold in Libya, but pockets of resistance remain. The Western-backed government has been trying to retake Sirte for more than four months.
