Monkey attack in Libya sparks tribal clashes that kill more than a dozen

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/nov/21/monkey-attack-in-libya-sparks-tribal-clashes-that-kill-more-than-a-dozen

This article is about an unusual conflict between two tribes in Libya, these two tribes started a conflict because one tribe let loose a Monkey that attacked two girls, prompting the other tribe to start a conflict by killing three men. This article is an unusual article to be found on the first page of the news when I typed in article in google, mainly because this is not an article coming from the west, a first developed country, nor is it about the recent Japanese tsunami or the presidential election. I think this is because of the bizarre title that this article has been given, that manages to successfully draw in viewers to read the article, it worked on me. I believe that this headline is very powerful because the way they managed to word it is very unusual. I don't think if they could have made the title of the article so attracting, the British based newspaper would not have talked about this event. Because it is about such an obscure part of the world that not a lot of people that read the Guardian would have cared about.
