A militia fighting on behalf of Libya’s UN-backed government has warned that Isis militants are regrouping in order to launch a new attack on the city of Misrata, the country’s trade capital.

“We have spotted movements by Daesh in the south of Sirte, where they are trying to regroup and break through our forces’ lines in the south,”

Mohamed Ghasri, spokesperson and senior commander of the Misrata-based al-Bunyan al-Marsous forces,*said on Wednesday.
The militia was a key force in helping drive Isis out of the coastal city of Sirte last year after a gruelling six-month-long campaign aided by US air strikes.

Isis’s leaders in the country are now operating in the southern Sirte countryside. Mr Ghasri did not give details on how many fighters Isis is believed to be readying for a fresh assault on Misrata.*
The civil war that has engulfed Libya since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 has allowed warlords and extremists to gain footholds across the country.*

ISIS claims credit for Iraqi Embassy attack in Kabul

ISIS took credit for a Monday assault targeting the Iraqi Embassy in central Kabul, with the terror group boasting it killed seven guards.

Through it's propaganda arm, ISIS said two attackers stormed the embassy, killing numerous guards before using stick bombs to break through the Embassy gates.
Casualty figures could not be independently confirmed.
Two police officials told The Associated Press that a car bomb exploded outside the embassy, followed by an attempt by gunmen to enter the building, which is located in the center of the Afghan capital.
The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

It was not immediately clear how many gunmen were involved in the attack. A police officer in the area, who identified himself only as Abdullah, said the gunfire was initially intense but was now sporadic.
The area was surrounded by armored vehicles and a large contingent of police and Afghan soldiers.
At least one eyewitness, a store owner who goes by the name of Hafizullah — many Afghans use only one name — said he saw the bodies of two policemen on the ground before armored personnel carriers and police arrived to cordon off the area.

"The explosion was so strong. I was so afraid," said Maryam, a woman crying near the site of the attack said. She said she works at the nearby office of Afghanistan's National Airline Ariana.

The Iraq Embassy is located in a part of the city known as Shahr-e-Now, which lies outside the so-called "green zone" where most foreign embassies and diplomatic missions are located and which is heavily fortified with a phalanx of guards and giant cement blast walls.

Obama needed to drop the mother of all bombs, like Trump did! Scared ISIS, Taliban, Al Q out of Afghanistan! Swear to Zeus!

I thought we were isolationist now? I just can't keep up with this Trump Magic and Winning!

that was 1 bomb on a tunnel complex (rock) in Afghanistan.
Trump's foreign policy isn't isolationist, it's non-interventionism

considering that Russiaphobia and sanctions are the driving force of US/Russian policy
his hands are mostly tied..

He's got Tillerson ( if he doesn't resign out of sheer inability to deal with Russia)
and he's got some smart guys- although I worry about escalation in Afghanistan

Talking to Putin has already paid off in Syria ( ceasefire)
 
It's almost as if Hillary and Obama were looking for a breeding ground for ISIS, and Libya just was the easy answer for them.

The saddest part is that they both are off enjoying their riches while the rest of the world has to deal with the incompetence they left behind

this is basically off the top of my head, with a few consultations of my notes. but it shows S'Clinton

leadership/ownership/stewardship of this country's libya policy from start to finish. let me know what you
think. toria, who else might be able to add to this?

Secretary Clinton's leadership on Libya

HRC has been a critical voice on Libya in administration deliberations, at NATO, and in contact group meetings — as well as the public face of the U.S. effort in Libya.
She was instrumental in securing the
authorization, building the coalition, and tightening the noose around Qadhafi and his regime.
