Islamic State militants took control of radio Sirte and are broadcasting verses from the Koran and speeches by their chief Abu Bakral-Baghdadi.
The Islamic State websites also posted pictures showing armed men sitting in front of microphones in a broadcasting studio with Kalashnikov assault rifles.
The resident said speeches of ISIL spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani were also being played on the air.
A citizen of the town said the gunmen apparently seized the radio “as a first step to communicate with the population.”
