Islamic State Group And Al Qaeda Expand To Libya As Extremism Spreads In North Africa

The Islamic State group and al Qaeda are aggressively expanding to the politically unstable North African country of Libya, according to a report Wednesday by a U.S.-based security consulting firm. Since dictator Moammar Gadhafi was overthrown in 2011, Libya has been a hotbed for civil war and extremism, with training facilities and recruitment drives springing up to support terror-driven conflicts in the Middle East.
