Several other soldiers were injured, the BBC reports.
The attackers arrived in vehicles topped with machine-guns. According to the BBC, an official described the attack as an ambush.
Libya has been hit by a months-long wave of attacks targeting military officers, activists, judges and security agents. Much of the violence is blamed on armed groups with origins in the anti-Gadhafi ‘rebel movement.’
It is not clear who carried out this attack, the BBC reports.
