Libya is witnessing its worst spasm of violence since Moammar Gadhafi was toppled in 2011.
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A dethroned beauty queen from Myanmar says she won't return the $100,000 crown until the pageant's organizers apologize for calling her a liar and a thief. May Myat Noe — the 2014 Miss Asia Pacific World winner — says she never accepted an offer to provide her with free breast implants. The director of the South Korea-based pageant says the surgery was to help boost her into super-stardom. The pageant stripped the teen of her title, saying she was dishonest and unappreciative. She left with the crown.
