“Despite Libyan officials rejecting a US-led bombing campaign and/or ground operation, reports indicate plans to deploy about 1,000 UK special forces on the pretext of combating ISIS – to be joined by thousands more American, French and Italian combat troops. On Monday, Britain’s Daily Mirror headlined ‘SAS (special forces) spearhead coalition offensive to halt Islamic State oil snatches in Libya,’ saying: ‘The (pretext) is to halt the advance of 5,000 (ISIS) extremists who have seized more than a dozen major oil fields, boosting their war coffers’ – aiming to capture ‘Libya’s prize oil refinery at Marsa al Brega,’ North Africa’s largest, located between Sirte and Benghazi.”
