Consequence of which event led to Foley's capture in Libya?

  • Arab Spring

  • Libyan Civil War

  • Syrian Civil War

  • Invasion of Iraq

Answer

Following the Libyan Civil War, which culminated in the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi's regime in 2011, Libya descended into chaos and lawlessness. This turbulent environment, characterized by a multitude of armed factions and the absence of a centralized government, served as the backdrop for Foley's capture by extremist militants loyal to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
