Nations discuss how to snuff out Islamic State in Libya
Nations fighting the Islamic State discussed Tuesday how to prevent the extremist group from gaining a stranglehold in resource-rich Libya, though no one appeared resolved just yet to launch a second military intervention in the North African country this decade.
Speaking at a 23-nation conference in Rome, US Secretary of State John Kerry said the last thing anyone wants "is a false caliphate with access to billions of dollars in oil revenue." He said the US and its European and Arab partners should increase security training and help Libya's military "not just to clear territory, but to create a safe environment for the government to stand up and operate."
