Three Keralites recount tales of horror from Libya

Three Keralites, who reached here from Libya, today said they were relieved to be back from trouble-torn country and recounted how they saw people being killed brutally and their bodies dumped in waste bins.

Jijimon Joseph, hailing from Kottayam, said he was shocked at the violence being perpetrated around. People were being hacked to death, body parts being thrown into waste bins and looting was on everywhere, he told reporters at the airport here after arriving from Delhi.

Joseph said he had 2,500 Libyan dinars and one of the attackers at first took everything, but later returned 2,000 dinars.

The other two -- Mohammed Sali, working in an oil company, and Easy Joseph, both from Kochi -- said they have not yet decided whether to return after the situation becomes normal in Libya.

They said their first priority was to return to Kerala safe.

The three had arrived at Delhi yesterday.
