Al-Qaeda War against ISIS in East of Libya
2015-06-19
[al-Alam] This week an al-Qaeda-linked militia in the eastern Libyan city of Derna has declared a holy war on the ISIS affiliate who control the majority of the coastal city, after the death of one of their big shots threatened to spark a violent conflict between the two groups.

In festivities between ISIS and the "Mujahideen Shura" Council of Derna on Wednesday, at least 20 fighters from both sides were killed, sources confirmed to Rooters.

The fighting came after a leader in an allied group, Majlis al-Shura, was killed by ISIS for refusing to pledge allegiance to the group's caliph His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...

#2  Personally, I hold the Battle for Libya + Other to be an extension of the Battle for Egypt, aka the Battle for Control of the Suez Canal + Red Sea.
