The officials questioned US' moves asking why did the United States not know about the foreign hostages held in the ISIS camps.

At least two Serbian Embassy staff members were killed in the airstrikes by US on an Islamic State camp in Libya, Serbian officials said on Sunday.

The officials questioned US' moves asking why did the United States not know about the foreign hostages held in the ISIS camps. Confirming the death of the two Embassy members, the Serbian Prime Minister, Aleksandar Vucic said that two members, a communication officer and a driver were killed in the air strikes by the US. 

Reports state that the hostages were taken by the ISIS after their diplomatic convoy came under fire near Sabratha, Libya.

Talking to the reporters, Vucic said, "Apparently, the Americans were not aware that foreign citizens were being kept there. But that will always remain an unknown fact to us," the Associated Press reported.
