CAIRO, April 6 (AFP) - Libyan authorities have executed three Islamists extradited from Jordan, a London-based Islamic group said Thursday.

The three Libyans, who were among eight militants extradited from Jordan earlier this year, were executed on arrival back home, the Islamic Observation Centre (IOC) said in a statement.

Jordan said last month it had expelled eight Libyan nationals from its territory because they had links to international "terrorist organizations," after detaining them for nearly two months.

Neither Jordan nor the IOC specified when they were deported.

The IOC, which has warned since March that their lives would be in danger, called on international human rights organizations to pressure Libya to free the other detained men.

The group works from London with the declared aim of upholding the rights of Muslims worldwide.
