French Embassy in Libya Attacked A car bomb exploded outside the French Embassy in Tripoli on Tuesday morning, wounding two guards and completely destroying parts of the building. French President François Hollande said the embassy had been targeted as "all countries in the international community engaged in the fight against terrorism." Libyan Foreign Minister Mohammed Abdel Aziz deemed it a "terrorist attack," but did not indicate who was behind it. No group has yet claimed responsibility. Local residents told the BBC that they did not think the embassy had proper security, with one saying it was a "big mistake" to put the embassy in such a dangerous neighborhood. The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three others were killed in September during an attack on the U.S. consulate. Read it at BBC News WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS 5. Nevada Closer to OKing Gay Marriage Time to get those gay-wedding chapels ready, Las Vegas.

The resolution removes a provision from the state constitution that declares marriage as being solely between a man and a woman.  Although Las Vegas has a risque reputation, Nevada remains a conservative state with a strong Mormon lobbying presence—meaning that the debate has been fairly charged. The new resolution passed with the support of 11 Democrats and one Republican, although language was included to make sure no religious organization would be forced to perform a gay ceremony.
