Beheadings, Car Bombings, and the Islamic State’s 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.

Chairman, Libyan Institute for Advanced Studies

Islamic State in Libya - Events over Time

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 Libya’s 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 ISIS’s al-Hayat

Media Center, shows the

execution and beheading of 21

Egyptians by militants belonging

to ISIS’s 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 ISIS’s 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 ISIS’s 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.”

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 first

tendrils of ISIS’s 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 Yemeni named Abu Taleb al-Jazrawey 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 MSSI’s declaration of allegiance to ISIS in

October, attacks attributed to other ISIS related groups have occurred across all regions of

Libya.

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, Libya’s 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 distributing dawa (charity) to

children and the poor. Like in Iraq and Syria, the considerably well produced media

publications have been used a powerful tool to build both community support for the group

and attract new recruits.

PROVINCES TO BE GOVERNED BY ISIS IN

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 al-

Nusra and recruiting them to fight

for the Islamic State. The Islamic

State in Libya’s 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 ISIS’s ranks. This

campaign seems to have started following the announcement of the death of Ansar al-

Sharia’s 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, Libya’s 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

Libya’s 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 ISIS’s 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 nation’s 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 ISIS’s

heavy campaigning for immigration by ISIS officials, ISIS members have turned to Libya as

its next area of expansion. Without international cooperation with Libya’s recognized

government, ISIS will continue to flourish in Northern Africa.
