“It was not immediately clear whether Islamic State was responsible for the car bomb.” It could have been rival jihadists. In either case, this is the Libya that is Barack Obama’s legacy: his policies are responsible for the chaos there, as well as for the rise of the Islamic State there and elsewhere.
“Car bomb kills seven in eastern Libya as Islamic State presses offensive,” by Ayman al-Warfalli, Reuters, August 9, 2015:
A car bomb exploded in Derna in eastern Libya on Sunday, killing at least seven people and wounding 19 others, medics and residents said, as Islamic State militants pressed an offensive to retake the port city.
It was not immediately clear whether Islamic State was responsible for the car bomb. Accurate information is difficult to obtain in Derna, a remote city controlled by Islamists outside government control.
Islamic State has built up a significant presence in Libya, exploiting a security vacuum as two rival governments battle for power four years after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi.
But Islamic State was expelled from Derna in June by rival Islamist groups backed up by residents angry over the arrival of foreign fighters and clerics in the city.
Islamic State fighters were trying on Sunday to retake Derna, residents said. The rival Islamist Abu Salim Martyrs Brigade managed to repulse their attack, but fighting with heavy weapons raged on the eastern edge of the city late into Sunday night, they said.
An Islamist commander opposing Islamic State was killed, Islamic State said, adding others had been killed and wounded. But no further details were immediately available….

Islam is based on the concept of a god who tells lies. (“they deceived and Allah deceived and Allah is the BEST deceiver.” K. 3:54) Islamic philosophy can only create a thorough-going society of lies, because lying is theologically approved. Muslims lie to everyone with a clear conscience. How does this relate to Libya? Libyan have one of the worst cultures of lying after decades of the Kaddafi dictatorship. Libyans seem to think that Kaddafi wasn’t ‘Islamic enough’, whereas he was actually perfectly Islamic. They fail to see that the culture of lies is Islam. A culture based on lies and betrayal can only be a dysfunctional, chaotic failure…like Libya.

Soon the will be on the gravy train express to the UK funneled through the Islamic networks infesting Europe.
They will be given a well rehearsed hard-luck cover story that the immigration Leftard panderers can use as an excuse for plausible deniability of aiding and abetting Islamic infiltration while the BBC runs interference.

I am fed up and disgusted by hearing about all the evilness that comes from moslem hands: terror, murder, decapitation, rape, slavery, drugtrafficking and all sorts of perversion and evilness that can only come from Arabs/moslems/islam!
I wish someone would throw a large nuclear bomb on Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. down there! We NEEEED a BREAK from evil!!! It’s unbearable to read and hear the news, and it is disgusting how the World is standing silent while Christians and other innocents are being killed by MOSLEMS every day!

Mecca is preferred site for a thermonuclear ‘wake-up call’ to Islam….
Diana says
well said JimFox, Mecca is indeed the perfect site to nuke these bronze-age peasants back into the stone age.
But wait! We’d be just as evil as them for doing this and it’d all be all of us/ors – we dirty rotten kaffirs – fault for causing all this mayhem. The same mayhem and death and destruction as was predicted by that vile font of evil namely Mo the madman.
Sigh! Why don’t we just submit – it’d be so much nicer for those jihadists and prove their false profiteer oops prophet (p!ss be upon him) right

Sorry to pop your bubble but you won´t be getting a break from muslims any time soon. Over 500,000 muslim ” refugees” have swarmed into the Greek Islands from Turkey and dozens of boatloads are arriving EVERY day. Some reports are stating that the Turkish Government is solving its refugee problem by supplying these ” refugees” with boats and helping them leave Turkey.
Watched several TV interviews with these ” refugees” who ALL stated that they wanted to leave Greece and come to ” Europe” because ” people in Europe very kind and give us house and money”
If you really are a Dane, a tidal wave of muslims will soon be heading your way.
