On April 10, an bomb was thrown at a convoy carrying Ian Martin, then head of the U.N. mission to Libya, wounding one person. Security is the biggest challenge faced by the North African nation in the wake of a conflict that toppled strongman Muammar Qadaffy ... the like of whose wardrobe will never be seen again. At least that's what we hope... last year. Posted by: Fred 2012-12-13 |
