Organization:notesIslamic State in Libya (IS-Libya) is a violent extremist group and an officially recognized IS-branch formed by Libyan foreign fighters, who had fought as part of the Daesh-affiliated Battar Brigade, and returned to Libya from Syria. The group follows an extreme interpretation of Islam that is anti-Western and promotes sectarian violence. IS-Libya has aimed to remove the United Nations-backed transitional Government of National Accord in Libya. The group targets civilians and police officers and has used suicide bombings to advance its objectives. In May 2018, suicide bombers stormed Libya's electoral commission in Tripoli, killing at least a dozen people in an attack. In September 2018, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for an attack on the headquarters of Libya's main oil company National Oil Corp, opening fire on staff and killing two employees. IS-Libya claimed responsibility for a car bomb attack in June 2021, which killed two people at a checkpoint in the southern Libyan city of Sebha. IS-Libya has also claimed responsibility for three additional attacks in 2022. According to a UN Security Council report in 2024, IS-Libya has continued to operate in remote areas of Libya, funding its activities through human trafficking and gold mining.ca_listed_terroristsca-lte-380-islamic-state-in-libya
