Pro-Islamic State Militants Seize Libyan University: Residents





Residents said on Thursday that militants claiming loyalty to Islamic State have seized the university in the central Libyan city of Sirte, days after a video showed them staging a convoy parade. Islamist militants have made inroads into parts of the North African oil-producing country, exploiting a power vacuum created by a violent struggle for control between two competing governments. On Monday Egyptian planes struck suspected Islamic State targets in eastern Libya, after the group released a video showing the execution of 21 Egyptian Christians kidnapped in Sirte. On Wednesday Egypt and the official Libyan government asked the United Nations Security Council to lift an arms embargo and help build up the army to tackle the jihadists. http://bit.ly/19FcqGR http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
