You probably wouldn’t be surprised to find out that the sons of Libya’s former leader Muammar Gaddafi aren’t all that popular. Here’s the video evidence.
I imagine the job description for presidential bodyguard includes something about putting your body in the line of fire. No surprises when things like this happen then.
Soooooo Gaddafi decided to hide his enormous wealth in South Africa, if the story is to be believed. I reckon we all get out out our spades and wheelbarrows and start digging…

A crap film is the cause of two attacks on American embassies in Libya and Eygpt. Followers of an ultra-traditionalist approach to Islam are very pissed about a video called the “The Innocence of Muslims” that not only portrays the prophet Mohammed, but ridicules him as a homosexual, an advocate of paedophilia, and shows him having sex.

The West have unintentionally cleared the path for al-Qaeda to take control over 300 000 square miles of African terrain. “Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb” (AQIM) and its allies have taken over an area of the Sahara more than three times the size of Britain, complete with airports, military bases, arms dumps and training camps.
It is very, very dangerous being ambassadorial these days. Probably moreso if you were ever one of Muammar Gaddafi’s diplomats. Libya’s former ambassador to France, Omar Brebesh, died during detention by armed militia in Tripoli – and judging from the autopsy, it was not a merciful killing.
Hey dictators. Got a national reputation problem on your hands? You could invest in some good public relations, couldn’t you? Specifically, give Racepoint PR a call – they’re the agency that did such a good job of brushing up Colonel Gadhafi’s image and, more recently, shifting attention away from Rwanda’s genocide problem.
As the world not so fondly lays Col. Gaddafi to rest, let’s take a look back at Brother Leader’s top 5 weirdest kinks.
Check out this chap playing a guitar while a fierce gun battle goes down around him! At first I thought I was watching a scene from a remake of El Mariachi – set entirely in Libya.

Well this is probably just the cherry on the big ol’ authoritarian cake they got going on over there, but hot damn. All the best movies had time travel in them. Never mind the fact that now a generation of Chinese kids won’t spend every waking moment waiting for their future selves to arrive in a DeLorean.
It’s tough fighting the powers that be, and it’s definitely not a job for all of us. But these legends in Libya deserve fat pats on the back and huge cubans (cigars – clean your mind). They’ve just returned from a battle in the eastern town of Brega. Check out their vehicle – or what’s left of it anyway – and drink a toast to these brave chaps tonight at the pub.
Angelina Jolie, savior of Africa, had to cut her trip to a Tunisian refugee camp short after a riot broke out.
