[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] ISIS has re-emerged in Libya after a video released by the bully boy group showed masked button men pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi south of the country, and vowing to carry out attacks against the Libyan National Army (LNA). In the video, the button men are led by an ISIS commander named Mahmoud al-Baraasi, known as Abu Musab al-Libi, who is the former founder of the ISIS affiliate in Benghazi. ISIS claims it killed and injured members of Khalifa Haftar ![]() ’s army forces in southern Libya on Wednesday, according to Amaq News Agency, where the bully boy group issues claims of responsibility. Referring to Haftar’s army forces as "apostates," ISIS celebrated the deaths of Haftar’s forces in the news report. |

#1 Qadafi rather easily controlled the traditional three regions of Libya: Tripolitania (west), Cyrenaica (east), and Sebha (south). With his demise no one has been able to control Sebha, and it is, for lack of other terms, a no-man's land. It will likely be the nexus from which the Al Qaeda makes its last stand in the Mahgrib after the battle for the north is settled. |
