Wow...what a fuck up by security. They had to have had help from the inside. The man is the country's leader for godsake.
I bet that those responsible will blame Ali Zeidan for letting US Forces kidnap that man earlier this week. They'll claim that he is a puppet and does not "serve the interests of a independent Libya" and will demand new representation.
The conservatives state side will blame Obama for his "rash heavy-handed" tactics leading to this. I have a feeling we have a brand new Benghazi on our hands.
I hope the man turns up alright.
