egypt is behind the scenes packing general khalifa haftar who has an armed force in benghazi and probably egyptian planes have bombed i.s.i.l. in libya. i don't expect a conventional military intervention by egypt in libya. they have not done anything like that since going into yemen in the 1960s. it would be out of character. there'll be a covert operation, special forces operation, and the deployment of air power. above all cultivating libyan forces that would be favourable to cairo. >> we'll have to leave it there, al jazeera's international contributor, jaup cole. -- juan cole. appreciate your time >>> we are getting a look at the chaos that followed the two shooting. amateur video caught this scope moments after a gunman opened fire on a cafe hosting a discussion on freedom of expression. hours later the same gunman shot and killed a security guard outside a synagogue. the suspect is dead. there's an unprecedented police operation under way across the danish capital. at least five police officers are recovering from gunshot wounds. investigators say the suspect was a known criminal w

after the revolution you had the growth of al-qaeda affiliated groups, and, indeed, general haftar's campaign was designed to root out those groups from the east. i think what you had in the wake of the campaign is not the decisive defeat of those groups but rather their dispersal, their mutation. and this is what we're seeing now with isis. isis in libya is really giving away a lot of members of these older postrevolutionary jihad is groups that had affiliations to al-qaeda. you've had the influx of volunteers that went to iraq and syria to fight with isis libyans that went, started returning last spring and last summer. that's the nucleus of isis in the city. you that isis spread to all three of libya's major provinces, and, of course, the conduct of some very high profile attacks against the creepy hotel and most tragically recently the killing of the egyptian copts. again let me move some thoughts about policy options but i think one of the things that makes this problem so compounding is where faced with a terrorist problem in libya that is embedded in a very complex civil war.
