Terror threat/ The days of ignoring IS in Libya are over
Followers of the Islamic State
and its self-declared caliph Abu Bakr Baghdadi simultaneously murdered 21
Egyptian Christians in a videotape released today, removing whatever doubt
remained that the Sunni jihadi group has established a strong presence in Libya.
The text
and video were targeted at terrorizing a Western audience as much as Arab
speakers, with captions in both Arabic and English and a masked speaker who
issued his threats in fluent English. The style of the video is very much like
the last IS snuff movie, involving the burning to death of Jordanian pilot
Muath al-Kassasbeh in a cage in Syria.
