This week's article revolves around the US Embassy situation in Libya. Apparently the militia group that was suspected of killing Stevens(US ambassador) is blockaded in a remote, mountainous region in the east of the country. an interesting part of the article was that it mentioned that Qaddafi, the former dictator of Libya attempted to fight the militia in the same region with 30 thousand troops and failed. Drones have been heard recently in that region, speculating that the U.S is prone to taking action. I find it interesting that a militia group that fought against Qaddafi now has a hand in killing innocent americans.

I find it interesting that Qaddafi has fought this same militia. It makes me wonder if he had a feeling that there would be some kind of attack and tried to prevent it. We will never know.
