Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni
said on a visit to Tripoli Tuesday that "the Libyans and the
national unity government must lead the fight against ISIS in
the country". He said Italy, and the international community,
was ready to cooperate and give its contribution but the fight
against terrorism was up to the Libyans before anybody else.
Italy has stressed that, if requested by the Libyan government,
it is ready to play a role in helping Libya fight ISIS
militants, who have gained footholds at several places along the
Libyan coast.
