In January 2015, the Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli was attacked by men affiliated with the Islamic State (IS).[1] The hotel was popular with foreign officials and government workers; it had previously housed the Libyan Prime Minister.

Attack

In the early hours of 27 January 2015, IS-affiliated men detonated a car bomb in the parking garage of the hotel. In the chaos, an estimated 5 gunmen stormed past the local guard and entered the hotel, intent on killing guests.[2]

Some of the attackers survived the initial contact, leading to a protracted hostage situation.[3]

Five foreigners died in the attack: one American, one Frenchman, and three Tajiks (including two women). The American, David Berry, was working as a contractor for an American security firm named Crucible. Five Libyan security personnel are also reported to have died in the attack.[4]

Perpetrators and motivations

The attack was carried out by men belonging to IS "Tripoli Province", who are believed to have been natives of Libya. The attackers' stated objective was revenge for the death of Abu Anas al-Libi, a Libyan Al-Qaeda operative who was involved in the bombing of two American embassies in 1998. He was captured by American forces inside Libya in 2013, and died in an American hospital on 2 January 2015.[4]

List of multiple discoveries

Historians and sociologists have remarked the occurrence, in science, of multiple independent discovery. Robert K. Merton defined such multiples as instances in which similar discoveries are made by scientists working independently of each other.[1] Sometimes, writes Merton, the discoveries are simultaneous or almost so; sometimes a scientist will make a new discovery which, unknown to him, somebody else has made years before.[2] Commonly cited examples of multiple independent di…
