Over 100 killed in Islamic State's Libya stronghold

At least 106 people have been killed in three days of fighting between Islamic State loyalists and local tribesmen in Libya's city of Sirte. 

Most of the dead were members of the Ferjan tribe who refused to pledge allegiance to the radical organization. 

According to reports Islamic State insurgents set on fire a makeshift hospital in Sirte's so-called District No 3, which was besieged by the militants three days ago.
