'ISIS Is At The Door,' Italy Warns After 21 Beheadings





Italy warned that ISIS is at Europe's doorstep as France and Egypt called for the United Nations Security Council to meet over the spiraling crisis in Libya. The growing alarm came as Egyptian jets bombed ISIS targets in the North African nation as revenge for the beheadings — documented in an ISIS propaganda video — of 21 Coptic Christian Egyptian nationals in Libya. The release of the video has underscored fears that ISIS is taking advantage of the chaos in Libya to expand its reach and stake a firmer foothold there. Libya has been unraveling since the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011. There are rival governments operating under separate parliaments — each with their own security brigades — and a plethora of armed Islamist groups jockeying for control. UN negotiators have been meeting with representatives from the internationally-backed government and the one which claimed power through force in Tripoli last summer. http://nbcnews.to/1EEaCqQ http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
