The bodies of a British man and a New Zealand woman shot to death near an oil terminal in western Libya were discovered Thursday by government troops, news agencies in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, reported.
Both victims were believed to have been working in the area as teachers, the Associated Press, Reuters and Agence France-Presse quoted unnamed government officials as saying.
The bodies, bearing bullet wounds, were discovered by Libyan troops patrolling the area around the Mellitah Oil and Gas complex near Sabratha, about 60 miles west of Tripoli, the news reports said.

The bodies were found slumped next to their packed suitcases, the news agencies said, quoting Libyan officials. The bags' contents were undisturbed, and the officials said they had no immediate clues as to the motive for the killings.
