New Delhi: Three Indians stuck in a war zone in Libya have been evacuated and are being brought back home, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said tonight.
She said they have been brought to Benghazi, which is a port city in Libya.
"We have brought them in military vehicles 650 km away to Benghazi. We will now fly them from Benghazi/Tripoli.
