| Subject: David Cameron blamed for rise of Isis in scathing MPs’ report Wed Sep 14, 2016 6:14 am | |
| David Cameron was today accused of contributing to the rise of the so-called Islamic State in north Africa in a devastating report by MPs on the 2011 Libya bombing campaign.
The former Prime Minister turned limited intervention intended to protect civilians into an "opportunist policy of regime change" based on inadequate intelligence, the MPs said.
The respected Commons Foreign Affairs Committee said the then PM’s failure to develop a coherent strategy to support the country following the overthrow of Col Muammar Gaddafi had led to political and economic collapse, humanitarian crisis and the rise of Islamic State in north Africa.
It said the military intervention was based on an “incomplete understanding” of the rebellion and ministers should have realised the movement included a "significant Islamist element".
