The Philippines was preparing Thursday to evacuate 13,000 citizens from Libya as violence continued to rage and a Filipi** worker was beheaded and a nurse gang-raped there. Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario was heading to neighbouring Tunisia to organise an evacuation as fighting resumed between militias seeking to control the Libyan capital's crippled international airport. Del Rosario said he was repeating a 2011 mission that evacuated thousands of Filipi** workers during the uprising that toppled Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi. "Our major challenge, as in 2011, is to convince our folks that they must leave Libya at the soonest time to avoid the perils of a highly exacerbating situation there," he told reporters in Manila.
