UN envoy warns IS operation in Libya
The UN envoy to Libya is warning again that Islamic State militants are already operating in the volatile North African country, posing a major threat to regional security.
Bernardino Leon, head of the UN Support Mission in Libya, says Libyan militants who had fought in Syria and Iraq are now back in the country and the current chaos might be an ideal hotbed for them to breed even more unrest.
He's also urging the warring parties to engage in dialogue instead of prolonging the bloody clashes.
Earlier local media reports suggested that the IS group has set up a permanent base in Libya as the headquarters of their North African operation, which functions as a recruiting depot.

U.S. military to put more efforts against Ebola crisis
U.S. troops are running three mobile testing labs and plan to set up four more in an effort to contain the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
The troops will help to operate the seven mobile labs, where they could be working with the blood of infected patients.
The labs will receive up to 100 samples per day from local clinics and will be able to give a diagnosis in hours, instead of several days.
The head of the U.S. Africa Command has said military personnel who help diagnose patients will be adequately protected from the disease.
