Terrorists Attempt To Interrupt Libyan Election

Rev 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).

“We have so devalued human life in our society that for many people it is a small thing to kill another person.”

-Jim Bakker in “Prosperity and the Coming Apocalypse”

Terrorists are attempting to disrupt Libya’s Saturday election by destroying ballots and firing on transports taking ballots to remote locations.

A depot holding ballots and election equipment in the city of Ajdabiya was firebombed destroying everything inside the building. The attack came less than a week after an attack on the electoral commission in Benghazi. The firebombing happened just before sunrise. Voting in the district is likely delayed until the materials can be replaced.

Those materials have been further delayed by an attack on a helicopter attempting to bring replacement ballots to Benghazi. Gunmen suspected to be associated with a group aiming for greater regional autonomy fired upon the helicopter.

In addition, gunmen have closed three oil export terminals in protest of the election.

The main source of conflict seems to be over the western part of the country gaining more seats in the new General National Congress than the oil-rich eastern part of the country.
