Four Italians have been kidnapped in Libya's western city of Mellitah, Libya's official LANA agency confirmed on Monday.
The report said the four were taken near the Italian Eni oil and gas company complex. They are employees of the Bonatti construction company.
It's still unclear which organization was behind the incident.
