“The U.N. mission in Libya said the closure of Tripoli airport and the deteriorating security situation made it impossible for it to operate. Three years after the fall of Moammar Gadhafi, Libya has slipped deeper into chaos with its weak government and new army unable to control brigades of former rebel fighters and militias who often battle for political and economic power.” Not that the UN does any good in Libya or anywhere else, but this entire situation in Libya is all thanks to…Barack H. Obama.
“Tripoli Airport Shelling Destroys Planes; U.N. Pulls Libya Staff, NBC News, July 15, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):
http://goo.gl/1RphGSTRIPOLI, Libya – A militia shelled Tripoli airport, destroying 90 percent of planes parked there, a Libyan government spokesman said Tuesday as heavy fighting between armed groups prompted the United Nations to withdraw its staff. At least 15 people have been killed in clashes in Tripoli and the eastern city of Benghazi since Sunday, and a Libyan official said several Grad rockets hit the Tripoli International Airport on Monday, damaging the control tower.
