ISIS have deployed a large group of fighters at several strategic oil fields with fears that the jihadi group is planning a deadly attack on foreign workers. Staff have been evacuated from three oil fields in eastern Libya as the country struggles to handle the growing threat of the jihadi group. Oil production in Libya has not been affected because the fields will stay shut until the security risk is reduced, oil and security officials said today.
