Islamic State group jihadists are making a “last stand” in their former libyan stronghold of Sirte, where they now control only around two blocks, the Pentagon has said.The ISIS group had held all of the Mediterranean port city as recently as early this summer, establishing a significant foothold in libya.
The US started a bombing campaign in August at the request the UN-supported libyan Government of National Accord to help local forces recapture the city more than a year.
