WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Members of a Libyan militia have taken over an abandoned annex of the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli but have not broken into the main compound where the United States evacuated all of its staff last month, U.S. officials said on Sunday.
A YouTube video showed the breach of the diplomatic facility by what was believed to be a militia group mostly from the northwestern city of Misrata. Dozens of men, some armed, were seen gleefully crowded onto the patio of a swimming pool, with some diving in from the balcony of a nearby building.
Libya has been rocked by the worst factional violence since the 2011 fall of Muammar Gaddafi, and a Misrata-led alliance, part of it which is Islamist-leaning, now controls the capital.
A takeover of the embassy compound could deliver another symbolic blow to Washington over its policy toward Libya, which Western governments fear is teetering toward becoming a failed state just three years after a NATO-backed war ended Gaddafi’s rule.

Question to Freepers in the know
Is alcohol forbidden in Islam????
I know, her quote popped to mind for some reason.
I can fully imagine her limply waving her index finger around as the badguys behind her walk up with a headbag for her.
Yes, alcohol is haram.
I live just north of New Orleans and a 1/3 of my town was flooded. I got 4 1/2 feet. I remember when that mildly talented fool made that statement. Everyone down here thought she was either a fool or just plain stupid.
I keep expecting her to say something similar again.
Lame Stream, I guess you are referring to the Democrat Marxist Socialist Fifth Column.
