伊斯蘭國激進分子今天早上奪取利比亞地中海海岸兩座關鍵性石油港口。這將使得伊斯蘭國通過石油獲得新的可觀收入。這個勝利也使得伊斯蘭國好比隻需要再扔一個石頭，就可以獲得該國最賺錢的“石油新月”。這兩座城鎮，相距21英裏，包括附近的煉油廠，為該地區的關鍵原油出口通路。今天早上，伊斯蘭國在網上正式宣布占領其中一個城鎮。另有報導，今天早上，伊斯蘭國使用汽車炸彈攻擊另一個城鎮中剩餘的叛軍。

ISLAMIC STATE (ISIS) militants have today seized two key oil ports on Libya's Mediterranean coast as they continue to expand their growing empire on Europe's doorstep, according to sources in the war-torn country.

The crazed jihadis have reportedly overrun Libyan rebels in the towns of Bin Jawad and As Sidr as part of an offensive that designed to give the terrorist group access to huge new revenue streams from oil. 

It brings them within a stone's throw of taking control of the country's lucrative 'Oil Crescent' at a time when its finances have taken a severe battering from Russian and US-led airstrikes. 

The twin port towns, some 21 miles apart, act as a key export route for crude oil from the region, including the nearby Ras Lanouf petrol refinery. 

In a statement posted online this morning ISIS officially claimed victory in Bin Jawad. Supporters of the hate group posted jubilant messages online, claiming the town had been "liberated" from infidel rebels. 

The ease with which the Islamist militants were able to take the towns will deepen concern amongst European leaders about the hold ISIS is taking in northern Africa. 

While the international effort has concentrated on obliterating the jihadi hate group in Syria it has quietly consolidated its position in Libya, recently boasting that its de fact African capital of Sirte will "rival Raqqa" as a future operations base. 

Journalist Wassim Nasr reported that ISIS fighters are using car bombs to attack rebels still holding on to parts of As Sidr, having completely overrun Bin Jawad earlier today.
