Egyptian airstrikes kill 64 IS militants in Libya: Libyan army spokesperson
2015-02-16
[Al Ahram] Egyptian Arclight airstrikes killed 64 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....
(IS) murderous Moslems, including three of their leaders, in Libya's coastal cities of Derna and Sirte, Libyan army spokesperson Major Mohammed Hegazy told Ahram Arabic news website on Monday afternoon.

In the early hours of Monday, the Egyptian army, in coordination with the Libyan army, carried out air strikes against IS targets in Libya, he said.

The attacks followed the publication on Sunday of a graphic video allegedly showing IS bully boyz beheading Egyptian Coptic Christians they had previously kidnapped.

Hegazy denied allegations that the Arclight airstrikes had incurred civilian casualties.

"Media outlets working for IS promote the notion of civilians being targeted in order to spark chaos and fear, and garner sympathy for members of the organization," he said.
