"If, instead of a stable government that guarantees security, these militias linked to Bin Laden take control, the Africans will move en mass towards Europe," stated Muammar Gaddafi, the late de facto ruler of Libya for 42 years. "The Mediterranean will become a sea of chaos."

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Gaddafi made this terrifying prediction in March 2011, before ISIS had even made an appearance in Libya. Five months later, in October 2011, Gaddafi was killed.
Fast forward four years, after countless amounts of brutal executions under ISIS hands, the Islamic terrorist group has now threatened to "flood Europe with half a million migrants from Libya in a 'psychological' attack against the west."

This comes after ISIS kidnapped 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Sirte, horrifically executed them and warned ISIS"will conquer Rome." To which Egypt responded with coordinated airstrikes on ISIS targets in Libya.
Telephone intercept transcripts show evidence that ISIS has made claims of sending 500,000 migrants "simultaneously out to sea in hundreds of boats," according to the Daily Mail.
"If the militias of the Caliphate advance faster than decisions of the international community, how can we put out the fire in Libya and stem the migration flow? We are at risk of an exodus without precedent," expressed Italian Minister for the Interior, Angelino Alfano.
The Italian security chiefs have approved plans to disperse 4,800 soldiers throughout the country's streets; the Interior Minister has expressed the soldiers will guard 'sensitive sites' and 500 of the troops will be sent to Rome.
The commander of Vatican City's 110-man Swiss Guard expresses "his forces are ready to defend Pope Francis if ISIS attempt a strike."

"As soon as our country mentioned armed intervention on Libya the jihadists suggested they let drift, bound for Italy, hundreds of boats full of migrants. The figure discussed is five hundred thousand, most of the 700,000 that are on the coast waiting to board," the II Messaggero newspaper reported.
"Following the terrorists' threats, we're asking the guards to be more attentive and observe peoples' movements closely," stated Colonel Christop Graf. "If something happens, we're ready; as are the men of Gendarmerie."
