'Star Wars' locations in Tunisia reportedly now danger spots because of ISIS threat

The Tunisian desert region used as a location for the original "Star Wars" and as a tourist destination for fans of the film franchise is now reportedly crawling with a threat more insidious than marauding Sand People — ISIS terrorists.

Particularly hard hit has been Tataouine, the Tunisian town that inspired George Lucas to name Luke Skywalker's home planet, Tatooine, and now a pit stop for wannabe jihadists headed to join ISIS in nearby Libya, CNN reported.

Three men were arrested nearby the town that's just 60 miles from the Libyan border and arms caches were confiscated nearby, one of which included more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition and rocket-propelled grenades, according to the report.

I think the UN Headquarters would fit in just nicely there.

I wonder how the liberals in Hollyweird will react when the Moose limbs attack the movie set and kill many of the Obama Muslim supporters that work for the industry? Will have the same effect as a liberal that works a liquor store in Memphis in changing their attitudes?

IOW, we media shills don't want to talk about Hillary's obstruction of Congress and lawbreaking, or her culpability in the slaughter of US embassy personnel, and don't want anyone else to talk about it either. Thanks BenLurkin.
