#1 Check a map. The fact that Sudanese JEM rebels and Chadians could be making trouble that far north in Libya defies logic. Jaghboub is the home of the Sanussi brotherhood, an important Sufi movement that has followers across north Africa. It was also the stomping grounds of King Idris I, who was ousted by Qadafi. This report really needs further explanation and analysis.

#3 Was it the People's Front of Judea or the Judean People's Front?

And how do you tell the difference?
