“The Greek Coast Guard seized a vessel Tuesday carrying ammunition and weapons near the southern island of Crete, authorities said, according to the Associated Press. The shipment is believed to be linked to the Islamic State group in Libya, according to local media reports. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether it was connected to the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, and said more information would be released later in the day.
Libya has become a hotbed for ISIS fighters in recent months. The country has faced severe political turmoil since the 2011 uprising that toppled the government of longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi. Split between two battling factions, Libya has become easy prey for ISIS.
The news comes as Europe is debating a solution to a growing refugee crisis. More than 300,000 migrants, most of them fleeing war in Syria, have flooded the European Union’s borders in recent months.”
