The tragic decapitation of 21 Egyptian Christians in Libyan Territory, what have caused the reaction the Egyptian Government that have made an air strike against the ISIS troops.

Currently the ISIS armed forces are struggling to get the control over the Libyan and Tunisian government; if they achieve this victory could have very bad effect on the South Mediterranean Countries and for example Italy that is the closest country to the Libyan shore and could be a new aim for the terrorists.

Those who committed the crime in Libya have their origin in the Areas Controlled by the radical in Iraq and Syria, what they call the Islamic Caliphate. They have decided to establish the capital in the province of Raqqa in Syria, which allows us to understand that the decisions are taken in the Levant, and the actions are taken by their “branches” extended to the rest of the countries.

Nowadays the danger has also spread to Libya.

The Civil war started in the country in 2014 and the current government (supported by the Western Powers) are against the more radical Islamist sector of the population. But in October 2014, international community realize the situation: when a young rebel recorded in Derna a video of hundreds of people who were following the Islamic State. A third actor have become strong in the region, ISIS have taken benefit of the situation and with the excuse of supporting the opposition army they have entry the country.

Islamic State terrorists have centered their focus on harsh invasions of the territories they are interested in, and acted against what they do not agree with. They claim these territories, because they say they belong to them, so they have the right to take them bacack.

The threat not only affects the North-African states but could have an international matter, for instance in Europe.

Italy is the closest country to the Libyan shore and in the past year “more than 170000 immigrants fled to Italy, in Italy immigration is increased by 64%”, as reported by The Daily Beast, and there is a concrete possibility that some of the immigrants might be part of the world famous terrorist group.

Currently the ISIS has as objective to break through the Italian state and conquer its capital: Rome for this reason the government in Italy is really worried about the current situation.

According to the Italian Ministry of Defence, Italy is not ready to mobilize the army but they have already sent 500 antiterrorist units to secure the most popular touristic sites in Rome. And the government before acting his waiting the response of the UN Security Council that is currently discussing a possible resolution for the issue.

They are spreading their ideas throughout the world very quickly, and using strategies which the International community seem to find hard to handle. There is also another point which can cause fear, which is that they emerge from Europe, so they are in very close contact with the continent, so is a threat we are scared to deal with.
