Video footage uploaded this week by an Islamic State-affiliated terrorist organization in Libya shows apparent “police” cars traveling outside of Benghazi while people salute and cheer.

Late last year, Ansar al-Sharia--the terrorist organization that filmed and uploaded the video footage of the “police” cars--has been affiliated with the Islamic State, or ISIS, since last year. According to MiddleEastEye.com earlier this month, a police force and court was set up just outside of Benghazi.
