LIAS Terrorism in Libya 020615

2 June 2015
Beheadings, Car Bombings, and the Islamic States Expansion in Libya
Foreword
Terrorism and ISIS in particular is an existential threat not only to Libya but to the global
community. The murder of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Sirte, Libya, the burning alive of
a Jordanian pilot in Syria, and the recent attacks in France and Copenhagen are only a small
portion of the heinous crimes committed by these criminals in the name of Islam.
The document you have in your hands lists the atrocities committed on a daily basis in Libya.
If these criminals are not dealt with, they will continue to murder, kidnap, extort, and
enslave innocent people with ever greater impunity.
LIAS will distribute these updates on a regular basis so that these crimes are widely reported
and these criminals exposed for what they really are.

ISIS Background, Situation, Expansion, and Strategy in Libya

Overview
The launch of Operation Dawn in July 2014 by militias based in Tripoli and Mistrata,
provided the catalyst to sufficiently destabilize Libyas already fragile political and security
situation. During this time, elements of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, long present
in eastern Libya, seized the opportunity to advance their own agenda. Over the past six
months, IS in Libya has grown from a small group of jihadists in Derna, allegedly sent in
mid-September 2014 by ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, to an increasingly dangerous
force, with bases of operation within all three of historical provinces in Libya.
Situation
The beheading of 21 Egyptian
Coptic Christians in a video
released on 15 February shows
that the Islamic State in Iraq and
Syria (ISIS) has considerable
influence outside areas originally
declared in their caliphate. The
video, released by ISISs al-Hayat
Media Center, shows the
execution and beheading of 21
Egyptians by militants belonging

THREATENS ROME
to ISISs Wilayat al-Tarabulus, or Tripoli Province of the caliphate. Following the

beheadings, the leader of the group declares, in clear English, that Wilayat al-Tarbabulus will
be the base for ISISs planned advance on Rome.
In later videos, ISIS members announce their desire to use Libya as a platform for future
expansion and attacks against Europe, notably Italy. An essay written by a prominent ISIS
supporter outlines ISISs plans for Libya. The author calls Libya a strategic gateway for the
Islamic State. The essay states that Libya, by the permission of God, is the key to Tunisia,
Sudan, Mali, Algeria, and Niger too. It is the anchor from which can be reached Africa and
the Islamic Maghreb. However, for this dream to become a reality we must move quickly.
10
Finally the author states, (Libya) has a long coastline and looks upon the southern Crusader
states, which can be reached with ease by even a rudimentary boat and note that the number
of illegal immigration trips from this coast is massive, estimated to be as high as 500 people
a day, as a low estimate. According to many [of these immigrants], it is easily possible to
pass through Maritime Security Checkpoints and arrive in cities. If this was even partially
exploited and developed strategically, pandemonium could be wrought in the southern
Europe. It is even possible that there could be a closure of shipping lines because of the
targeting of Crusader ships and tankers.
Expansion
After the 2011 revolution, portions of the eastern city of Darnah, a city known for its
sympathies for fundamentalist religious groups, had been under the control of Majlis Shura
Shabab al-Islam (MSSI). Members of MSSI appear to have been the conduit for ISIS
representatives to enter eastern Libya. Reports on social media website began showing
members of MSSI implementing hisba (accountability patrols) throughout the city, in a
manner mirroring patrols by ISIS members in Mosul and Raqqa. These patrols were the first
tendrils of ISISs presence in Libya. By mid-September 2014 photos posted to social media
sites showed several large ISIS parades throughout Darnah. On 3 October 2014, members of
MSSI held a large rally in the center of Darnah declaring baya (allegiance) to ISIS and its
leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. It was later noted by Atlantic Council research fellow
Mohamed Eljarh that a Saudi Arabian named Abu Habib Al-Jazrawi was declared emir of the
newly created Wilayat Darnah. This declaration has become the first substantial foothold for
ISIS outside of Iraq and Syria. ISIS representatives have used Darnah as a springboard to
spread its influence throughout the other provinces of Libya.
The continued political and military chaos in Libya following the ouster of Muammar
Gaddafi in 2011 has provided an ideal situation for extremist organizations such as ISIS to
expand throughout Libya. In the months following MSSIs declaration of allegiance to ISIS in
October, attacks attributed to other ISIS related groups have occurred across all regions of
Libya.
11
During the week of 9 November

2014, three car bombings and four
beheadings were carried out by
groups affiliated with ISIS in the
eastern province of Barqa.
In December 2014, IS affiliates of the
Tarabulus province took credit for
car bombings outside of the
Diplomatic Security Headquarters in
Tripoli, later detonating a car bomb
outside of the Embassy of Algeria. Later
that month, ISIS in Sirte kidnapped a

group of Egyptian Coptic Christians.

On 3 January, members of ISIS in Fezzan, Libyas southern promise, attacked a Libyan Army
checkpoint in Sokhna, killing 14 soldiers and two cooks while they were sleeping.
Since then, ISIS affiliates have increased the diversity and lethality of their attacks. ISIS
members in Libya have taken credit for the attack on the Corinthia hotel in Tripoli, the
beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians, and the coordinated car bombing of three
locations in Qubbah. ISIS in Libya has repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to target both
civilians and government officials.
Strategy
Aaron Zelin, Richard Barrow Fellow for the Washington Institute for Near East Policy,
recently stated that ISIS in Libya seems to be attempting to follow the same tactics it so
effectively employed in Iraq and Syria last June. Unlike its predecessor al-Qaeda, ISIS has
effectively used media sharing websites such as JustPasteIt, Manbar, and Twitter to
continually update its supporters and potential recruits that it is active in the areas under its
control. These press releases not only show the results of attacks by ISIS affiliates
throughout Libya, but also show the same organizations proselytizing (dawah) children and
the poor. Like in Iraq and Syria, the considerably well produced media publications have
been used as a powerful tool to build both community support for the group and attract
foreign recruits.
12
In regards to recruitment, ISIS

has recently launched a large
campaign to funnel fighters
from other extremist groups
within Libya. Again, this
follows a similar tactic
employed by ISIS in Syria,
attracting fighters from similar
organizations such as Jahbat alNusra and recruiting them to fight
for the Islamic State. The Islamic

State in Libyas largest target has been Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi. ISIS has released a series
of statements urging the seasoned fighters of Ansar al-Sharia to join ISISs ranks. This
campaign seems to have started following the announcement of the death of Ansar alSharias leader, Mohammed al-Zahawi. A video released on 27 February 2015 shows an ISIS
fighter calling for supporters to travel to Libya and fight.
Other analysts note that ISIS is using Libya as a regional command center and a launching
point for further expansion. Large stockpiles of Gaddafi-era weapons can be found
throughout Libya. In addition, porous borders allow ISIS to easily smuggle fighters from
neighboring countries. On 25 February, Libyas Tripoli based government abolished entry
visas for Algerian and Moroccan nationals. Over 2,000 Moroccans and Algerians are thought
to be currently fighting with ISIS.
Finally, ISIS attacks on Libyan oil facilities may suggest their desire to control portions of
Libyas lucrative oil resources. It is estimated that ISIS in Iraq and Syria generated up to $2
million per day from illegal oil exports. A similar strategy in Libya would provide substantial
funding.
Conclusions
As noted in the 5th edition of ISISs online magazine Dabiq, its largest foreign base of support
is Libya. The drastic increase in bombings, kidnappings, and beheadings throughout Libya
by organizations allied to ISIS seems to have proven these claims true. ISIS in Libya has been
able to take advantage of the nations post-revolutionary political turmoil to establish a base
of support, though to a lesser degree, using the same tactics as in Iraq and Syria. Like in Iraq
and Syria, ISIS in Libya has been able to recruit foreign fighters to join its ranks, as seen at
the Corinthia Hotel. Given heavy military setbacks in Kobane and Mosul, coupled with ISISs
13
heavy campaigning for immigration by ISIS officials, ISIS members have turned to Libya as
its next area of expansion. Without international cooperation with Libyas recognized
government, ISIS will continue to flourish in Northern Africa.
