The U.S. military has launched its first airstrike against al-Qaida in Libya as operations expand beyond targeting the Islamic State group.
“The United States will not relent in its mission to degrade, disrupt, and destroy terrorist organizations and bring stability to the region,†U.S. Africa Command said in a statement on Monday.
The strikes on Saturday were launched near the remote Saharan desert town of Ubari, long a crossroads for bandits, various tribal groups, traffickers and militants.
