Islamist militia now guards US Embassy in Libya
An Islamist-allied militia group in control of Libya's capital now guards the US Embassy and its residential compound, a commander said Sunday, as onlookers toured the abandoned homes of diplomats who fled the country more than a month ago.
An Associated Press journalist saw holes left by small-arms and rocket fire dotting the residential compound, remainders of weeks of violence between rival militias over control of Tripoli that sparked the evacuation.
