Sameh Shukri, the Egyptian foreign minister, has reportedly said that Libya's natural resources represent a very large pool of wealth and funding that will fund terrorist activity.
He told The Telegraph:
"You see [Isil] in Iraq utilising petrol and the black market and in Libya this is a danger that will have a big impact for us."
Six months after the Egyptian leader Abdelfattah el-Sisi was elected president following the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammad Mursi,
Mr Shukri said the Muslim Brotherhood was behind Isil-like violence in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere in North Africa.
