Tripoli, June 10 (RHC)-- The ISIL Takfiri group has claimed to have seized "full control" of Libya's coastal city of Sirte and a steam power plant near the city from the Libya Dawn militia, a report says.

On Tuesday, the U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group quoted a report, in which a division of the terrorist group calling itself the Tripoli Province said that the terrorists had seized the last locations of Libya Dawn militants in the northern city "linking the east and west of Libya.

SITE further noted that ISIL had published photos of its militants "engaged in clashes, sitting atop heavy guns, exploring the power plant and town, as well as bodies of dead" Libya Dawn militants.

A ccording to the report, following the clashes that erupted between the two militant groups earlier in the day, Libya Dawn militants lost the a-Jallit military camp and al-Qardhabiyah base as well as all entrances to the city.

The ISIL Takfiri group, which emerged in Libya by releasing a video in February that showed the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians, seized the civilian airport in Sirte last month.

The Takfiri group had reportedly managed to recruit hundreds of militants in Libya over the past months, with the number of Takfiri terrorists exceeding 2,000 in the country.
