"All embassy personnel are safe and accounted for and there were no injuries," he said.

“Tripoli international airport has been closed for two weeks because of deadly clashes in the area, and the United Nations evacuated its staff from Libya on July 14 because of the violence.”

Not much is new. The airport referenced here was once this country's largest Air Base, Wheelus. I was stationed there from July, 1956 until February, 1958. It was fairly peaceful in those days, except for when it was not. Prior to Qaddafi's overthrow of King Idris(Who was on the Throne during the period I was there). A few years after I left there, Qaddafi overthrew King Idris and kicked the US out of the country. I guess we got even with him, but in the process, created an even worse mess.
