The Times: UK Troops to be Deployed to Libya.

Tripoli, 2 August 2105(Lana) British troops are set to be deployed to Libya as part of an international peacekeeping mission tasked with securing the country and to counter the threat from the Islamic State (Isis) the Times newspaper reported on Saturday. Forces from the US, France, Spain and Germany will also join the mission to stabilise the country once the rival warring factions agree on forming a unity government, the paper said. The mission participants, known colloquially as the P3+5, are working together with the European Union and United Nations to "rebuild organs of the state and train security forces", according to The Times. Once the inclusive government is confirmed, the P3+5 will seek a UN Security Council resolution to authorise intervention in Libya to train the local police, army and coastguard, the paper added. As part of the military operations, American and French airstrikes will be required, with British jets unlikely to participate because of the commitment to fight Isis in Iraq, a Whitehall source told The Times. "You might see movement towards the end of August," the source said. "Things will then start to move very quickly." =Lana=
