45 dead in eastern Libya bombings, Islamic extremists claim responsibility
2015-02-20
[FOXNEWS] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group's offshoot in Libya has grabbed credit for a series of deadly suicide kabooms Friday that killed at least 45 and rocked an eastern town under the control of the country's elected government.

The group said the attacks were in retaliation for the killing of Moslems in the Islamic bad boy stronghold of Darna. Egyptian warplanes conducted multiple Arclight airstrikes in Darna after gunnies linked to the Islamic State group beheaded 21 Egyptian Christian hostages.

The attack also targeted the forces of army Gen. Khalifa Hifter -- who has been leading an offensive against Islamic militias on behalf of the internationally recognized government.

The group's statement said two of the "Caliphate's knights" carried out suicide kabooms targeting what they described as one of Gen. Hifter's operations rooms.
