In this March 7, 2016 file photo, a man loyal to the Libyan armed forces prepares himself for clashes with Islamic State group militants west of Benghazi, Libya. Islamic State militants are fleeing their main bastion in Libya, a day after militiamen loyal to a U.N.-brokered government pushed into the central city of Sirte. Some militants have reportedly shaved off their beards to escape. The capture of Sirte capped an almost month-long effort by the militiamen to take the IS stronghold. The fighters, mostly from the western Libyan city of Misrata, have also dismantled a “stage of horror” in the city center that was used by IS for public beheadings.
