U.S. ready to resume air strikes in Libya if needed
None
WASHINGTON- The United States is prepared to carry out more air strikes against ISIS militants in Sirte if requested by Libya's UN-backed government, even though the militant group no longer controls much territory there, the Pentagon said on Monday.
Since August the United States has carried out more than 350 air strikes against Islamic State at the request of the Government of National Accord (GNA). However, none have been carried out since Oct. 31, officials said.
"If additional air strikes are needed, we will be prepared to deliver those air strikes," Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said at a news conference.
