Sorry If I didn't have what you were looking for. Those articles were showing that we have been (and presumably still are) flying armed drones over Libya.

Obama is still killing selected groups in various countries, with armed drones, and it's in the news quite often. Other nations are complaining that Obama is killing people in their country with armed drones.

What more do you want ?

Maybe this will be of help.

US Sends Drones, Military, Intelligence Personnel to Libya, Amid Chaotic Time for New Democracy
http://news.firedoglake.com/2012/09/15/us-sends-drones-military-intelligence-personnel-to-libya-amid-chaotic-time-for-new-democracy/

“As we learn more about the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi on September 11, it becomes harder and harder to ignore the probability that the militants involved were retaliating for a drone strike that took out a top al-Qaeda leader who happened to be Libyan.”

WHICH MEANS that we were using armed drones to take out people in Libya PRIOR to the attack on the ‘consulate’, and there was a drone capturing the action during the attack. Why would this drone (during the attack) be the only one that wasn’t armed?

Whether those surveillance drones will shift into armed flying robots in the event of locating the perpetrators is not yet known.

The one thing the article you linked says about drones in Libya is that they are not armed.
