US Downs Iranian Drone; Epstein's Putin Obsession Revealed

World News Update: February 3, 2026

Seif al-Islam Gadhafi, son of the late Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, was killed Tuesday in his home in Zintan, Libya, according to sources close to him. The 53-year-old was reportedly shot by four masked gunmen who stormed his residence, located approximately 136 kilometers southwest of Tripoli, according to Euronews. Gadhafi's lawyer, Khaled al-Zaidi, confirmed the death in a Facebook post, according to Euronews.

In other news, tensions rose in the Arabian Sea after a US fighter jet downed an Iranian drone that approached the USS Abraham Lincoln. The Shahed-139 drone was intercepted by an F-35C fighter launched from the aircraft carrier after it approached the vessel with "unclear intent," according to the US military. The incident occurred as Washington prepares for talks with Tehran later this week, according to Sky News.

Meanwhile, Finland is set to construct icebreakers for the United States as competition in the Arctic intensifies, according to Euronews. The deal highlights Finnish expertise in icebreaking technology.

Newly released emails revealed that Jeffrey Epstein made repeated attempts to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Sky News. The emails, dating back to 2013, show Epstein's efforts to connect with Putin through former Norwegian Prime Minister Thorbjorn Jagland. While Putin's name appears over 1,000 times in the files, there is no evidence that the two ever met, and his inclusion does not imply any wrongdoing, according to Sky News.

Euronews also reported that severe floods in northern Morocco have displaced over 50,000 people.
