Al Qubbah bombings

Events

Operatives loyal to the Islamic State group detonated three bombs in al-Qubbah, targeting a petrol station, a police station, and the home of President of the Libyan House of Representatives since 5 August 2014 (and effectively the country's parliamentary speaker) Aguila Saleh Issa.[1] These attacks reportedly killed at least 40 people.[1] Six Egyptians were identified among the fatalities in the attacks, and their bodies were repatriated to Egypt via the Sallum border crossing.[2]

ISIL said that the attacks were carried out in retaliation for the February 2015 Egyptian airstrikes in Libya.[3] The Egyptian Air Force had launched strikes following the kidnapping and beheading of 21 Copts in Libya in February 2015.

The U.S. State Department,[4] the Misrata Municipality,[5] and New General National Congress (Libya Dawn)[6] condemned the attacks.

gollark: Well, it's poorly designed, more so than JS in my opinion.
gollark: PHP is maaaaybe easy for simple stuff, but also very evil.
gollark: There are many languages you can use for web*server*y stuff, but you can only really use HTML/CSS/JS for frontends.
gollark: With Express.js the server thing would look *very roughly* like this:```javascriptconst express = require("express")const multer = require("multer")const app = express()const upload = multer({ storage: multer.memoryStorage(), limits: { fileSize: 2**22 // 4MiB maximum filesize }})app.get("/image", (req, res) => { res.send(loadImageFromSomewhere())})// send upload form HTML - you would need to write this tooapp.get("/upload", (req, res) => res.sendFile("upload.html"))app.post("/upload", upload.single("file"), (req, res) => { saveImageSomewhere(req.file.buffer)})app.listen(8700, () => console.log("listening")) // listen on port 8700```
gollark: I mean, you could use PHP too. I don't like it. But you could.
