CAIRO (Sputnik) — The army liberated strategic positions on the city's eastern suburbs from the Daesh group, LANA news agency said, adding that local residents provided assistance to the government pointing out Daesh militants shelters to the soldiers.
Daesh terrorist organization, outlawed in many countries worldwide, gained a foothold in Libya in the turmoil following the 2011 ouster of the country’s longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi.
