By Aleksandar Vasovic and Ahmed Elumami BELGRADE/TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Two Serbian embassy staff members abducted in Libya in November are believed to have been among nearly 50 people killed on Friday in U.S. air strikes on a suspected Islamic State training camp, Serbia's foreign minister said. U.S. officials said the site targeted in the strikes in Sabratha, western Libya, was a camp used by up to 60 militants including Tunisian Noureddine Chouchane, blamed for two attacks on tourists in Tunisia last year in which dozens were killed. Sladjana Stankovic, a Serbian communications officer, and Jovica Stepic, a driver, were taken hostage on Nov. 8 after their diplomatic convoy, including the ambassador, came under fire near Sabratha, a coastal city.
