IS recruiting "army of the poor" in Libya
The so called Islamic State is building an "army of the poor" in Libya by offering people up to $1,000 to come and fight for them. According to Libyan intelligence services the recruits are coming from Africa's poorest nations where some people barely earn a dollar a day.
Colin Freeman is the Chief Foreign Correspondent for the British paper 'The Sunday Telegraph' who wrote a special report on the so called "army of the poor".
