Suicide car bomber kills two near Libya's Misrata
2015-05-22
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] A jacket wallah in a car went kaboom! at a checkpoint near Libya's Misrata city on Thursday, killing two guards, state news agency LANA quoted a military source as saying.

The attack was against forces from the port city whose troops are allied with a self-declared government based in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
The Misrata forces are fighting Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
forces of Evil who have profited from Libya's turmoil to gain ground in the city of Sirte. Four years after the fall of Muammar Qadaffy
...who single-handedly turned a moderately prosperous kingdom into a dictator's fantasyland and was then murdered by his indignant subjects 42 years later...
, Libya is in chaos, with two rival governments and their armed forces battling for control.
