French carrier in position for air strikes on IS from Monday- minister

French jets will be able to launch air strikes on Islamic State targets from an aircraft carrier in the eastern Mediterranean from Monday, Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said.“It will be operational from tomorrow,” Le Drian told Europe 1 radio on Sunday, nine days after attacks in Paris that killed130 people.Rival sides in chaos-ridden Libya must reach a deal to create a new unity government in order to stop the Islamic State group from taking over, the French defence minister said Sunday.“There must be an intra-Libyan accord between these two rival factions, or else Daesh will win,” Jean-Yves Le Drian told Europe 1 radio, using an Arabic acronym to refer to IS.
