What About Libya?
In the aftermath of the jihadist massacres in France, the media have been focusing on Yemen, Iraq, and Syria, seeing them as the planning and training bases for Al Qaeda and ISIS.
Lost in the much of the Western discussion is Libya, where Al Qaeda groups maintain bases and where the ISIS has been growing in strength. Indeed, Middle Eastern security officials say Libya is quickly taking the place of Yemen as the main headquarters for some of the world’s most dangerous international terrorist organizations.
The U.S. and NATO in 2011 deposed the regime of Muammar Khaddafi, providing vast quantities of weaponry to rebels there. Some of the weapons reportedly fell into the hands of terrorist organizations. Islamic extremists control large swaths of Libya.
On Monday, Libyan Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani warned in an interview that if the international community does not act soon, his country could become a dangerous haven for jihadists targeting Europe.
Currently, an Islamist-led coalition largely controls Tripoli. The group, known as Fajr Libya, also occupies the city of Misrata, while the Al Qaeda-inspired Ansar al-Sharia is said to dominate Benghazi, Libya’s second largest city.
Ansar al-Sharia in both Benghazi and Derna pledged allegiance to ISIS in October, although some Western analysts believe the affiliation to be loose.
Agence France-Presse recently reported jihadists camps throughout Libya are being used to train militants to fight abroad.
Just last week, two Tunisian journalists reportedly kidnapped in September were brutally killed, with the Libyan branch of ISIS claiming responsibility.
This week ISIS in Libya also claimed it is behind the abduction of 21 Coptic Christians, releasing pictures of the captives.
Meanwhile, local Libyan TV stations recently aired photos and videos of what they claimed were ISIS members arrested or killed in battles with the Libyan army in Benghazi.
The Libyan daily Al-Awsat also published photos showing a purported ISIS patrol in Tripoli dismantling a local cosmetic store it said was against Islam.
The Libyan government has announced that upwards of 20 percent of all terrorists arrested come from foreign countries, including Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, and Egypt.
