IBTimes: ISIS ‘Significantly Expanded’ Its Hold In Libya Amid Political And Security Vacuum: UN Report

Experts in the United Nations said in a report that the presence of the Islamic State group, or ISIS, had been “significantly expanded” in Libya and that the group is making use of the political and security vacuum in the region to grow its network, according to media reports.

The experts monitoring the U.N. sanctions against Libya said that ISIS has successfully recruited marginalized communities in the city of Sirte in central Libya.
