Islamic State-linked fighters seizing oil-rich land in Libya
2/8/16

As Islamic State forces lose ground in Iraq and Syria, fighters loyal to the group have seized territory in oil-rich Libya, levying taxes at gunpoint and creating sanctuaries to launch possible attacks in North Africa and Europe, U.S. officials say.

The Pentagon has sent special operations teams to gather intelligence and launched at least one airstrike. But the White House so far has resisted calls from some senior aides to escalate the U.S. military role in another Muslim country to counter the potential threat.

Losing ground, or just 'moving around'?
BTW, Ramadi in Iraq is STILL NOT CLEAR, regardless of the trumpeting of Iraqi officials weeks ago. The MSM merely stopped reporting on the situation there. Thankfully, other sources have picked up that story, and provide updates.
