"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

ISIS set to Destroy Ancient Roman Site near Tripoli- Al-Masdar News

Yesterday, ISIS managed to impose full control over the city of Sabratha which is situated some 50 miles west of Tripoli in Libya. Fears are mounting that Islamic State fighters might very well demolish several ancient priceless Roman landmarks in the city including a 3rd-century amphitheatre which is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
The capture of the city happened after 30 ISIS trucks, seemingly out of nowhere, were able to launch a major offensive on the city, effectively overwhelming many checkpoints and military outposts belonging to the Islamist coalition of the ‘New General National Congress’, thus forcing their retreat.
