{'liberia': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'international news': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'civil war': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'north korea': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'recent times': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'harbouring terrorists': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'raw uranium': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'drugs': [0, 1, 3, 2], 'smuggling': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'drug': [5, 0, 4, 2]}

The question clearly states that Liberia was in recent international news for a certain reason. Looking at the options:

Option 1 suggests that Liberia was covering terrorists associated with religious fundamentalism. However, there is no recent news to suggest such a scenario.

Option 2 suggests Liberia has been importing raw uranium to North Korea. Again, there is no recent evidence or news pointing to such a situation.

Option 3, the correct answer, talks about Liberia`s long-running civil war, which resulted in the death and displacement of thousands of people. This has indeed been the focus of international news due to the humanitarian crisis it caused.

Option 4 suggests cultivation of drug-yielding crops and smuggling drugs is the primary reason for Liberia being in the news. While Liberia has issues with drugs, it`s not the most recent or notable topic related to Liberia in international news.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3 as per the recent news highlighting Liberia`s civil war.
