Britain prime Minister, David Cameron could send 1,000 British troops to Libya in a bid to help destroy Islamic State militants. Four years after Muammar Gaddafi's fall, Libya is deeply fractured. The political turmoil in the region has allowed ISIS to gain a foothold in parts of Libya, alongside Iraq and Syria. The deal could see the UK send 1,000 troops, who would be operating in a non-combat role, alongside special forces. It is understood that British officials have been working with Italian military experts on the proposed action.
