Is Libya the Next Stronghold of the Islamic State?
The
chaotic civil war is giving the caliphate a foothold in North Africa,
and its enemies can’t figure out whether to kill the jihadists or use
them for their own purposes.
Exactly
four years after the protests that kicked off the Libyan revolution,
the country has again found itself in the spotlight. On Feb. 15, a
Libyan affiliate of the Islamic State released a sordid video showing
the group’s militants marching a group of 21 prisoners whose only crime
was being Christians, and foreigners. After a short speech from one of
the jihadis, the Egyptian Coptic prisoners were simultaneously beheaded
before the video panned to a scene of the blood-soaked Mediterranean
Sea.
