FILE - In this Monday, Feb. 16, 2015 file photo, a man is comforted by others as he mourns over Egyptian Coptic Christians who were captured in Libya and killed by militants affiliated with the Islamic State group, outside of the Virgin Mary church in the village of el-Aour, near Minya, 220 kilometers (135 miles) south of Cairo, Egypt. Military victories over extremist groups along Libya’s Mediterranean coastline has forced hundreds of militants, including Islamic State fighters, to seek refuge in the vast deserts of the North African nation, already home to militias, criminal gangs and mercenaries. The area provides a sanctuary for militants to reorganize, recruit and plot a potential comeback as the Islamic State group loses ground. (AP Photo/Hassan Ammar, File)
