Libya's Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha has told the BBC that groups including Al Qaeda and the Islamic State will use the current conflict in the country to regroup. The US has carried out two airstrikes in Libya in the past week, targeting IS militants. The conflict in Libya began in April when a rebel military commander launched an offensive to try to take the capital. Since then the authorities in Tripoli say more than 3,000 people have been killed, including a few hundred civilians.
