HOLLYWOOD ACTOR MISTAKEN FOR LIBYAN CITY AS UN’S MILITARY ACTION ESCALATES

Famous Hollywood star, Ben Gazzara, might have fears of becoming a military target if rumours that he has been mistaken for the Libyan city, Benghazi are true. A source close to Mr. Gazzara, now in his eighties, is reported as saying: ‘Ben Gazzara has never even been to Libya, let alone been the site of armed conflict over there. There must be confusion over their similar sounding names—Ben Gazzara (whose career spanned decades, appearing in numerous films as a supporting actor, including the role of a villain in the Patrick Swayze hit, Roadhouse) sounds like Benghazi, but there the resemblance ends!’
  Now, the actor—whose career is currently invisible—potentially faces the violent ending of his life in expected air strikes by UN coalition forces. Strikes aimed at ‘liberating’ Libya from Colonel Gadaffi, ‘freeing’ the Libyan people to join the North American Empire and annexe their country to the US.
  However, sources close to US military intelligence forces have played down the risks faced by the geriatric actor. In a statement issued anonymously that was made available to Narolc’s World, Gazzara’s possible concerns are dismissed.
  ‘There is no threat to Mr. Gazzara and any fears for his personal safety are completely groundless,’ the statement reads. ‘Providing, of course, he does not happen to actually be in Libya at a specific time and an exact place when and where action of a military nature (such as a bombing) takes place. But—’ the statement continues, ‘It is our understanding that Mr. Gazzara is a US citizen and that the US is where he resides.’
