Islamist vs Islamist in Libya

Thursday, June 11, 2015

Violence perpetrated by ISIS in Libya continues with at least 20 fighters dead in clashes, as ISIS battles another Islamist group that refused to swear allegiance to it.

The fighting erupted in Derna after the Islamist group Majlis al-Shura refused to fall in line with ISIS and swear allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. During the fighting Majlis leader Salem Derbi and around 18 ISIS fighters were dead. The death of Derbi led to Majlis declaring jihad against ISIS.

According to reports, supporters of the Majlis stormed several buildings held by ISIS during the fighting.
