UN: Up to 3K ISIS Fighters in Libya

United Nations experts said Tuesday there are between 2,000 and 3,000 ISIS militants in Libya, where the terror group is aiming to gain control of more territory. In a newly released report, experts monitoring UN sanctions against al Qaeda and other groups warned ISIS poses “an evident short- and long-term threat in Libya” and that the group’s central command sees the North African nation as “as the ‘best’ opportunity to expand its so-called caliphate” from Syria and Iraq. However, experts said the group faces challenges from the population as well as maintaining alliances with other warring factions vying for power.
