(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Super powers have called for political settlement to the Libyan crisis noting that the international community must act jointly to deal with the problem.
The US State Department, in a statement said the governments of France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States strongly condemned all acts of terrorism in Libya.
"The heinous murder of 21 Egyptian citizens in Libya by ISIL-affiliated terrorists once again underscores the urgent need for a political resolution to the conflict in Libya, the continuation of which only benefits terrorist groups, including ISIL," said the statement, echoing these powers' joint stance in this regard.
The ISIL, the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, an offshoot of Al-Qaeda, has recently released a video showing hairy throat-slitting of the Egyptian workers, promoting Cairo to retaliate with air strikes on the group bases in Libya.
Terrorism affects all Libyans, and no one faction can confront alone the challenges facing Libya. The United Nations-led process to establish a national unity government provides the best hope for Libyans to address the terrorist threat and to confront the violence and instability that impedes Libya's political transition and development. The international community is prepared to fully support a unity government in addressing Libya's current challenges.
