Italy might weigh military action against ISIS in Lybia

ROME (AP)  Italy would weigh participating in any military intervention to keep forces from the Islamic State group from advancing in Libya should diplomatic efforts fail, Italian officials said Monday.

Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti has said Rome could contribute 5,000 troops to lead such a military mission. But Pinotti and Premier Matteo Renzi on Monday sought to dispel the notion Italy already decided on military operations if launched under the auspices of the United Nations. Renzi told the private TG5 TV news "the proposal is to wait, so the U.N. Security Council can work with a bit more conviction on Libya" diplomatically.

U.N.-sponsored efforts must involve "all the players, the local tribes, African Union countries, Arab countries, the Europeans," Renzi said.

With Libya's security rapidly deteriorating, the number of migrants who set out in smugglers boats from Libyan shores toward Italy has surged. On Sunday alone, Italian authorities rescued more than 2,100 migrants and refugees, many of them fleeing the Syrian war.

Some in Rome fear IS advances could increase risks that terrorists, mingled among boatloads of migrants, could reach Italy from Libya, a few hundred kilometers (miles) across the Mediterranean.

mess. I'm Italian and I come from Sicily, the most vulnerable place in a certain sense, because it's the arrival point of immigrants... Moreover, the city I come from hosts lots of them in a pacific way. So the point is.. Italy does not have such military force/organization to do this. The only thing we can do is enhance border security which doesn't mean not to help poor people escaping from hell.

Good. Imagine the increase in immigrants from Libya if IS came to power there. Italy already can't handle its amount of asylum seekers.

Because it is clearly a European duty. In my opinion, the entire European refugee policy is a mess.

Agreed. Italy is in a huge economic crisis with high unemployment, same with Greece. They could use their money for something else.

Agree also with the rest, Europe needs to do immediately something about the issue.
