The latest blast of arctic air will extend from the Midwest to the Atlantic and northeastern Gulf coasts. Winds will be unforgiv- ing and add to the magnitude of the cold air, flurries and snow squalls from the Great Lakes to the central Appalachians. Cold and dry conditions are forecast from the western Great Lakes to northeastern Texas. Some snow will spread south- eastward into part of Montana and the Dakotas.

Extremists loyal to the group have taken control of two Libyan cities on the Mediterranean coast, have moved toward oil facilities and are slowly infiltrating the capital, Tripoli, and the second-largest city, Beng- hazi. They have siphoned off young recruits from rival militant groups linked to al-Qaida and in some places taken over those groups' training camps, mosques and media networks. Notably, there appears to be strong coordination be- tween the Libya branch and the group's central leader- ship in Syria and Iraq. One of its top clerics, Bahraini Turki al-Binali, has visited the Libyan city of Sirte to preach: in 2013 and again at the end of last year, soon before it fell into the hands of the group's supporters, according to a rival militia official based there. The of- ficial spoke on condition of anonymity for fear for his life. A video released last week showing the behead- ing of a group of Egyptian Christians abducted from Sirte was produced by the IS media branch. About 400 mostly Ye- meni and Tunisian fight- ers are in Sirte, according to Libyan Interior Minister Omar al-Sinki. The militia official said Islamic State fighters have set up head- quarters in the city's con- vention complex, the Oua- gadougou Center, built by former dictator Moammar Gadhafi as a symbol of his secular regime's aspirations to be a pan-African leader. An Associated Press re- porter who briefly visited Sirte on Wednesday saw masked militants deployed along the main road link- ing the convention center to downtown. The close connection be- tween the Libya branch and the central leadership around Islamic State chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi un- derscores the strategic im- portance of the North Afri- can country to the group. Libya boasts oil resources — something the extremists have exploited for funding in Iraq and Syria. There are vast amounts of weapons, a legacy of the turmoil since Gadhafi's 2011 ouster. Its borders with Egypt, Tuni- sia and Algeria are porous. And the southern shore of Italy is about 400 miles (660 kilometers) away, a dis- tance Libyans fleeing their country's chaos regularly try to cross in rickety boats. Italy and France favor some sort of international action in Libya, while Egypt is pressing for a U.N.-backed coalition air campaign. Besides Sirte in the cen- ter of the country, Islamic State loyalists control the city of Darna, farther east along the coast. This week, Egyptian warplanes struck IS training facilities and weapons depots in Darna in retaliation for the be- headings. In Tripoli, which is con- trolled by powerful mili- tias, IS militants have in- filtrated some neighbor- hoods, destroying statues they consider forbidden by Islam and distributing pamphlets to spread their message. They also claimed responsibility for a deadly attack at a luxury hotel that killed several foreigners, in- cluding an American. LIBYA IS m il it an ts fi nd f oo th ol d in c hao s By Maria Cheng The Associated Press LONDON There may be more fruit, vegetables and healthy options avail- able than ever before, but the world is mostly hun- gry for junk food, accord- ing to a study of eating habits in nearly 190 coun- tries. International research- ers combed through more than 320 self-reported diet surveys from 1990 to 2010 and looked at how often people said they ate 17 common foods, drinks and nutrients including healthy choices like fruits, vegetables and fish and un- healthier alternatives like salt, processed meat and sugary drinks. Experts found that even though people are eat- ing more healthy foods including whole grains and fish, there has been an even bigger jump in the amount of junk food eaten. The study was paid for by the Bill & Me- linda Gates Foundation and Britain's Medical Re- search Council and was published online Thurs- day in the journal, Lancet Global Health, as part of an obesity series.
