The Jerusalem Post adds:
The U.S. air strike killed eight suspected Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 turbans in southern Libya near the town of Murzuq, the U.S. military said on Friday.

The strike took place on Thursday, the U.S. Africa Command said in a statement.

Islamic State turbans lost their Libya stronghold in the central town of Sirte in December 2016 but the group has retreated to the country's vast desert to regroup.
