The Telegraph: Islamic State: Inside the latest city to fall under its sway
The Telegraph's Ruth Sherlock and Sam Tarling report from Sirte in Libya, Gaddafi's hometown and the first major foothold for Islamic State on the Mediterranean coast
The facade of the building that was once Col. Muammar Gaddafi’s pride and joy is now painted with the distinctive black and white jihadist flag.
In streets nearby, mannequins in women’s clothes shops are covered in demure, shapeless black. Ladies’ hairdressers have been closed down.
The Libyan dictator’s home city and pet project, later the scene of his capture and death, Sirte is now the first major foothold for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) on the Mediterranean coast.
