Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
In the first major terrorist attack on a foreign embassy in Libya’s capital, the French embassy was attacked Tuesday in a car bombing.
The blast destroyed the compound’s security wall and the ground floor reception area. An embassy guard was severely injured and is in critical condition.
A young girl passing the embassy suffered a spinal injury and was rushed to Tunisia for treatment.
The embassy is located in a mostly residential area resulting a number of homes and small businesses being damaged by the blast.
“France expects the Libyan authorities to shed the fullest light on this unacceptable act, so that the perpetrators are identified and brought to justice,” French President Francois Hollande said.
French embassies in Africa have been on alert since the nation’s intervention in Mali that stopped Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists from taking over that nation’s government.
It’s the second major assault on a foreign embassy in a year. In September 2012, American ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi when terrorists attack the embassy.
