Gentiloni warns Libya poses 'threat' to Italy - update 2

(ANSA) - Rome, February 13 - Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni warned Friday that "Italy is under threat from the situation in Libya, 200 nautical miles away".
    In a television interview, he said it was a grave concern that Islamic State (ISIS) militants may be as closed as Sirte in Libya.
    Earlier, the Italian government urged citizens to "temporarily leave" Libya as ISIS appeared to be making headway.
    Foreign ministry officials have said security there is deteriorating.
    Gentiloni said that if dialogue fails, Italy will fight - so long as any military action is conducted under a legal framework established by the United Nations.
