Militants in Libya direct threat to Europe: French PM
2015-02-22
Madrid -- Militants in Libya pose a “direct threat” to Europe, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said in Madrid on Saturday.
So when do you and the Italians start the mission to clear Libya of these hard boyz?
“I would like to cite the question of Libya and the direct threat to our security of the creation — under our eyes and not far from our borders — of a new haven for the terrorists,” Valls told a gathering of social democrats, according to a transcript of his speech.

Valls’ comments come amid growing concern that the Daesh group, which has already seized swathes of Iraq and Syria, has also established a foothold in Libya.

“The threat of Daesh in Libya is set to increase exponentially,” analyst Mohamed Al Jareh, from the Atlantic Council’s Hariri Centre for the Middle East, said on Friday.

Recent attacks in Libya claimed by Daesh have boosted concern that some militias have in fact pledged allegiance to the Sunni extremists.

#2  As an aside to all of this:

DHS is claiming the usual "right wing extremist threat of terrorism in the US" I bet this will be the narrative anytime we have a terrorist incident in the US. The WH, DHS, etc., will claim it is right wing extremism. New cover story the "work place violence" did not play well in Peoria.

I would not be surprised to find out the French and the Italians already have something in the works and possibly on the ground in Libya...standby for mysterious mounting casualties by various wacko fanatic Islamic organizations in Libya.
