Does Libya need international help?

The Real Story

Available for over a year

As Libya deals with a growing threat from the Islamic State group, will a new deal to resolve the country's political crisis bring stability? Should the international community step in to help? And would airstrikes and foreign troops help the situation - or make things worse? The British Ambassador to Libya, Peter Millett, tells Owen Bennett Jones how strong the threat is from Islamic State in Libya, and what he thinks the prospects are for peace.
