Rome, 2 February 2016(Lana) Representatives from the 23 countries of the US-led coalition gathered in Rome to plan for the battle against so called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and to stop its expansion in Libya. Officials said the coalition would review their effort to recapture territories taken by the IS or Da'esh in Syria and Iraq and ways to halt the spread of the extremist group in Libya. They said the meeting would discuss establishment of stability in the Iraqi city of Tikrit which was retaken from Da'esh and the wider effort to stop its funding and the influx of foreign fighters by addressing their campaign on the Internet. The possible expansion of Da'esh in Libya where rival factions contest for power would be the main topic on the agenda of the meeting. Da'esh is trying to seize parts of Libya particularly Sirte, and Washington will work with the Libyans and the coalition partners to prevent that. =Lana=
