The internationally-recognized government in Libya is asking other Arab countries for help in arming its military. According to Foreign Minister Mohammed al-Dairi, Libya needs the weaponry in order to fight against the growing ISIS threat.
Al-Dairi made his request during an emergency Arab League meeting today (Tuesday).
