1,000 British troops and Special forces going to Libya to eliminate ISIS jihadists

Britain is getting ready to deploy up to 1,000 troops and Special Forces to Libya in a bid to help wipe out Islamic State jihadists. Therefore, military officials are examining plans to send soldiers to the country to help train Libyan security forces to fight militants taking over the region. They will follow a team of soldiers who will be deployed to Libya to carry out a 'scoping' mission.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 17 December 2015.

These British troops would be deployed in a non-combat role, elite SAS members would be armed to take out high-value ISIS targets. The tentative plan envisages that British military personnel would contribute to a 6,000-strong Italian-led mission to train and support local forces.
Of course, this deployment would mean boots on the ground in an area where six SAS men were captured during an operation in 2011, months before the death of Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi.
Britain and Italy have joined up with the European Union and the United Nations on a plan to support the new government by rebuilding the state and training security forces. The Special Forces could also be sent to Libya to spearhead military operations that would target human traffickers who are exploiting migrants who want to make the perilous crossing to Europe.
The SAS would interact with specialist forces from other EU countries and help to zero-in and pinpoint the leaders of ruthless gangs, as also the vessels they are using and the routes they take.
