No, really, really it does.
A notorious people smuggler who fuelled Europe’s migrant crisis by shuttling countless asylum seekers to Europe has been assassinated near Libya’s capital city.
Abdel-Rahman Milad, once a high-ranking member of Libya’s coastguard, was killed on Sunday in the town of Sayyad, which lies around 15 miles west of Tripoli, near a naval academy he once lead.
Local media outlets published pictures of a bullet-riddled white Toyota Land Cruiser on the side of a road, with a man’s body inside, and said that he had been assassinated, though provided no further evidence.
Okay, I lied.
Please let it be an SAS op
Sadly it will probably be someone wanting to be top dog
A small point and some may call me pedantic: the past tense of lead is led. Is this an acceptable standard of English for a national newspaper?
No, but it is to be expected.
