Tuesday, April 23 car bomb devastated the French embassy in Tripoli, injuring two French guards, is the first major attack against Western targets after what cost him his life last September, at the hands of jihadists U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Tripoli and across Libya after it was toppled the Gaddafi regime have been flooded with weapons and violent armed gangs roam there.

France is under fire for two reasons before the NATO has taken a leading role in defending the rebels against Gaddafi's military at a later time the French military forces along with those of Chad have begun to fight jointly in Mali against Islamist insurgents of al-Qaeda.

Not only in Libya but also in Yemen structures are in danger Saana French the French embassy was attacked by a gunman who fired several shots from the outside in the direction of the embassy.

To date there has been no claim of al-Qaeda's North African arm AQIM main suspect in the attack on Tripoli, but you have to take into account the fact that last week had threatened retaliation in order to avenge the French intervention in Mali.

In Paris, French President Hollande said the car bombing of Tripoli is addressed not only to France but to all the countries of the international community committed to the fight against terrorism.

We must not make the mistake of thinking al.Qaeda to AQIM as the only possible and main culprit of the attack, in fact, many Libyans militants have vowed to fight what they see as a foreign crusade, which intends to establish a liberal democracy in their country of Western-style instead of an Islamic state and not just lurk resentment against the Western powers due to the military operations in Iraq, Afghanistan and North Africa.

Prosecute the perpetrators of Tripoli could be very very difficult for the new Libyan government that has few military and police officers, whose forces often find themselves in a position of inferiority in relation to armed gangs that were formed after the fall of Gaddafi, and indeed indeed, it is often difficult to distinguish from those autonomous militias organized under the control of the Libyan government that are found to coexist in a crucible is not easy to identify.
