The leader of Islamic State (IS) organization Abu Baker al-Baghdadi had ordered his militants to resort to southern Libya after they were defeated in Iraq and Syria.

In his letters to the IS leaders in Libya, which have been revealed recently, Baghdadi instructs them to use the rugged areas in south of Libya for reorganizing the militants fleeing from Iraq and Syria, Asharq Al-Awsat reported on Thursday.

The IS chief has also ordered his followers to target Egypt, Tunisia and Algeria.

“Asharq Al-Awsat has seen documents seized from the headquarters of the IS in different parts of Libya, including letters from al-Baghdadi to 13 of his top aides in Libya, some of which date back to the end of last year, and a few weeks later,” the source said.
