Gunmen attack Russian embassy in Libya's capital Tripoli
UK Guardian ^ | October 2, 2013 | Chris Stephen in Tripoli

Posted on 10/02/2013 5:08:15 PM PDT by don-o

Gunmen attacked the Russian embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli on Wednesday hours after news broke that a Russian woman had been arrested and accused of killing a senior military official.

The Russian foreign ministry said diplomats were safe and had been evacuated after unknown attackers attempted to break into the embassy grounds. Four Libyans were wounded in the attack, local media reported.

Gun and rocket fire echoed through the streets around the compound, as police and army units were deployed around the building in pickup trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns.

The attack came hours after Libyan authorities arrested a 24-year-old Russian woman accused of the murder of the official in his apartment in Tripoli.

The woman, named as Katerine, is suspected of using a machine-gun to kill air force engineering official Mohamed Alsusi, said Hashim Bishar, head of Tripoli's Supreme Security Committee, the government's gendarmerie.

Bishar told the Guardian that the woman had also shot and stabbed the victim's mother, then used the dead man's blood to write Death to Rats in English on the wall of his home. He said he had interrogated her for six hours before handing her to judicial authorities.

Let’s see. Woman entered Libya as a ‘journalist,’ alleged used a gun then wrote “Death to Rats.” Clearly NOT an American journalist.

Oops, Libya commits an act of war against Russia after kissing Obama's rear, and killing a useful (to Russia and China) Qaddafi.

See ya Libya, wouldn't want to be ya.

It’s no coincidence that we dont’ hear of that many atrocious terrorists acts against the State of Russia.

Brutality may not have been invented by the Russians, but they sure can get enthusiastic with it.

We on the other hand place ourselves on a pedestal and point at ourselves telling the world how fair and good we are, so we can’t be that brutal and anytime we do something successful in the foreign policy arena, it’s usually a mistake.

It seems like KGB is hiring amateurs these days, too. Arrested? What about going out in a blaze of glory?
