Ansar al-Sharia in Libya :: An Enduring Threat / [Recurso electrónico] PDF .-- : Alex P Schmid , 2017
Ansar al-Sharia in Libya (ASL) is one of the most powerful jihadi groups in Libya and it might, in fact, represent
a more significant long-term threat than IS’ provinces in Libya. However, there are few recent studies of ASL,
so exactly what kind of threat the group poses has not been adequately understood. After examining the group’s
evolution, ideology, strategy and violent activities, we find that ASL is, and most likely will remain, more of a
local and regional threat than a global one. The group still poses a significant threat to Western interests, as it has
carried out attacks against Western targets in Libya, has close ties to al-Qaida, and operates training camps for
international jihadis within its territory
