By me to see them. I'll be in Algeria and Tunisia later this year and would like to see those sites while I'm in the area. Don't want to become an Internet superstar in the process. I'm aware ISIS is in that area but not sure how close they are to Tripoli/Sabratha/Leptis Magna....

If you think ISIS is the problem then you have some way to go before grasping the clusterfuck that is Libya. Don't go. End of.

You can visit both. I was alone at Sabratha quite dramatic. Arrange out of Tripoli. Get there before ISIS blows it up.

How many minutes were you there and where did you stay the night?
