Wiki records point out that Libya has stockpiles of 9K52 Luna-M (FROG-7)<br />

within Saudi and Iranian arsenal which the Islamic State hopes to capture and<br />

share with its affiliates throughout the Islamic State provinces.<br />

Islamic Groups sharing m<strong>is</strong>siles:<br />

We know that Ansar Bayt al-Maqd<strong>is</strong> in the Sinai (now part of the Islamic State)<br />

smuggled m<strong>is</strong>siles with Hamas in Palestine a few years ago, so they will have<br />

links to get hold of more m<strong>is</strong>siles and smuggle them to other Islamic armed<br />

We also know Ansar al-Shari'ah in Benghazi (Libya) captured them from<br />

Gadhafi. Tun<strong>is</strong>ia <strong>is</strong> next door to Libya, and Al Qa’idah Islamic Maghrib (AQIM)<br />

has a presence there. When the border of Libya and Tun<strong>is</strong>ia <strong>is</strong> smashed, they<br />
