Two Italians taken hostage in Libya in July have been freed, say the authorities.
The pair are still in Sabratha in north-west Libya for questioning, in what the head of Sabratha Millitary Council, Taher el Gharaballi described as an "investigation".
They will be transferred to Tripoli after that.
They were part of a group of four Italian oil workers who were abducted by gunmen in July, near Libya’s border with Tunisia.
Italy’s foreign ministry said yesterday that the two other hostages may have been killed during a raid by Libyan forces on a hideout used by militants from the so-called Islamic State (IS).
