ISIS announced they took control of the Libyan city of Sirte, home of former Libyan president Muammar Gaddafi, on Thursday morning. In Sirte, they took control of the city's airport as well as a man made water irrigation system that provides fresh water to most of Libya. Libya has been in chaos since their leader's death last year and have succombed to ISIS control recently, leading to the deaths of Libyan civilians. The ISIS control of the Sirte airport has international ramifications and must be watched closely.
