*Issa's position as head of state was disputed by Nouri Abusahmain from 5 August 2014 to 30 March 2016, then by Fayez al-Sarraj from 30 March 2016 to 15 March 2021.
On 20 February 2015, Aguila Saleh Issa's residence was the target of bombing by ISIL militants in the town of Al Qubbah. In what became known as Al Qubbah bombings, bombs also targeted a petrol station and a police station. It was one of the deadliest attacks in Libya since the end of the 2011 Civil War, resulting in a total of at least 40 people killed, although it was not clear how many died in the attack on his residence. ISIL said that the attacks were carried out in retaliation for the 2015 Egyptian military intervention in Libya.[7]
On 20 September 2021, Aguila Saleh Issa announced his intention to temporarily withdraw from parliament in order to run as a candidate for president in the 2021 Libyan general election.[8]
