Libyan official warns of ISIS threat
2015-02-07
[MAGHAREBIA] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) is gaining ground in Libya and a new international approach is needed to address the growing threat, a senior Libyan official said on Thursday (February 5th).

Aref Ali Nayed, Libya's ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and an adviser to Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani, was in Washington and New York this week to discuss the new challenges on Libya's security front.

"It's not possible to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria without also addressing the Libyan component," Nayed told AFP.
