[quote:Anonymous Coward 54153621:MV8zMDUxNjUyXzU0MjczNTUyXzk0N0E0OTE5] [b][i]IS Foothold in Libya Threatens Europe, West Africa[/i][/b] 1/8/16 [i] Having a foothold in Libya could prove a significant boost to IS, both as a propaganda tool and in operational terms. "It says, we can have a presence wherever we choose,” Widdershoven told VOA. “It is not up to NATO, Washington, or London or Brussels. If you want us out of Iraq, we will go to Libya, and if you come to Libya, we can move to Egypt or back to Iraq." The closeness to Europe adds to the group's claims of an expanding caliphate.[/i] http://www.voanews.com/content/islamic-state-foothold-libya-threatens-europe-west-africa/3137468.html [/quote]
Original Message
In 2011, during the 'Arab Spring', NATO forces and western-backed militias brought down the government of Muammar Gaddafi, leader of Libya.
This thread is about the aftermath of that action.
