ISIS came knocking on this man’s door. They had a job for him — to head their DMV.
Even as the Islamic State ruled through fear and brutality, as their counterparts have in Syria and Iraq, militants in Libya aspired to create a government with a functioning bureaucracy, public services and a credible judicial system.
 
NASA just found a spacecraft that’s been lost for two years
