ISIS driven out of Libyan port of Sirte
Libyan pro-government forces say they have driven ISIS out of the last district of Sirte after the last dozen jihadists surrendered Monday. Backed by US air strikes, forces loyal to Libya's unity government have been fighting for more than six months to drive the Islamists out of their North African stronghold. Civilian casualties multiplied as ISIS fighters used them as human shields. Rida Issa, a spokesman for the Libyan forces, said that brigades from the western city of Misrata had led the offensive to "control all of Sirte's Ghiza Bahriya neighborhood and are still securing the area.”
