Welcome to all our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. Egypt has opened a new front in the war against isis. On monday, egyptian warplanes bombed northeastern libya after cairo vowed to avenge the killing of 21 Coptic Christians. Egypt says it hit isis sites precisely. But at least seven civilians including three children, were killed in the coastal city of derna. The bombings come after the Islamic State released a video showing the beheading of the 21 kidnapped egyptians. The victims are led on to a beach dressed in orange jumpsuits like Guantanamo Bay prisoners. They are then beheaded one by one. The lead executioner points his knife at the camera and delivers a message to what he calls the crusaders. Recently, you have seen us chopping off the heads [indiscernible] today, we are on the south of rome sending another message. Crusaders, safety for you [indiscernible] the victims were all Migrant Workers kidnapped late last year. There are reports more egyptians have been kidnapped inside libya in recent days. The video is the First Showing an Islamic State beheading outside of its strongholds in syria and iraq. Isis is one of several militant groups that have emerged inside libya since the u. S. Backed overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Today marks four years since the official start of the libyan revolution that ended in gaddafis ouster and death. Now the country faces what the United Nations calls the worst political crisis and escalation of violence since that time. Two different governments run libya, each with their own parliaments and armies. The internationally recognized government operates from the eastern cities of tobruk and bayda after a rival group called libya dawn seized the capital tripoli in august. A number of militant groups, including the Islamic State affiliate, are scattered in between. Egypts bombing marks the first time isis has been targeted with strikes outside of iraq and syria. And although it emerged in the upheaval following the 2011 intervention, there is talk now of a new foreign operation beyond the egyptian strikes. On monday, italy said it would weigh attacks on the Islamic State in libya if u. N. Backed talks fail to reconcile the libyas rival factions. Italian interior minister Angelino Alfano called for direct nato intervention saying isis is at the door. There is no time to waste. The current war authorization measure before Congress Also increases the prospect of direct u. S. Intervention. President obama has asked lawmakers to grant him expansive authority to target the Islamic State anywhere in the world, beyond the Current Campaign in syria and iraq. With washingtons ally egypt starting a new front, that opens the question of whether libya is next on the u. S. Target list. For more, we are joined by two guests. From cairo, egypt is sharif Abdel Kouddous, democracy now s correspondent and a fellow at the Nation Institute. He recently returned from a reporting trip in libya. And Vijay Prashad is a professor of International Studies at Trinity College and columnist for the indian magazine frontline. He is the author of several books, including, arab spring Libyan Winter and, most recently, the poorer nations a possible history of the global south. He is joining us from Connecticut Public television. Processprofessor, lets start with you. Isis is beheading of the Coptic Christians from egypt . Amy, this is not the first egyptian airstrike in libya. It is reported, although egypt denies it, that in august of last year, egyptian fighter planes alongside fighter planes from the uae struck near tripoli , the capital of libya. At that time, going after the escalation by libyan dawn to capture the city in the parliament. Libyan dawn is a coalition, but dominated by the muslim brotherhood, which is, of course, the group that president sissi has seen as his main enemy inside egypt. When egypt again a second round of airstrikes on monday, the parliament in tripoli, again, dominated by the muslim brotherhood, immediately condemned the airstrike as a violation of libyan sovereignty. The problem with the egyptian airstrike has been that in a very short time, it has immediately opened up the polarization inside libya precisely the opposite political direction which libya requires at this time, according to the United Nations. Can you talk about how we have come to this point where four years after the libyan revolution began, now the Islamic State is claiming territory there in carrying out brutal attacks such as this one . It is a great consternation and shame, i think of the socalled International Community that this nato intervention of 2011 came on the heels of geopolitical wrangling between the gulf arab states and the europeans. This intervention came in. It destroyed much of libyan infrastructure at a Crucial Point when mr. Gaddafi was taken prisoner. If he had been allowed to surrender, for instance, there may have been a process opened up to bring different faction to political table. Instead of him being brutally killed, the possibility of reconciliation at that point was squandered. Secondly, there was no attempt by any party to bring the various revolutionaries into any kind of umbrella organization. They were allowed to have a separatist existence returning to the various cities, creating this rather deepening of separation deepening the antiquity amongst them. This strange position, the nato back government took power in shipley, where many opportunities by this government were also squandered. There were oil wells oil workers trucks, the question of the armed alleges. At no point to the government in tripoli seem engaged by these pressing issues. Instead, one of the first acts of this government was to create a central bank. It was very interested in making deals for oil. That really, no point, did they attempt a genuine political process of reconciliation inside the country. That has torn apart libya. That alienated the east. And for the first time in libya a sophisticated Al Qaeda Group was allowed to flourish and that was sharia which grew out in benghazi. The Libyan InternationalIslamic Fighting group has, by 2011, put itself at the service of the government, but that gesture as well was rebuffed. I think a combination of gulf arab and animosity between qatar and saudi arabia, really disregard by the west, and internal problems where the government in tripoli drawn into power on the backs of nato, really alienated the populat
