I actually didn't hear about that. I heard about it this year. Did he
come under fire? How were they caught?
When Reagan sent F-111s to bomb Khadafi in Libya, Khadafi got an advacen
word to move, his daughter was killed.
How many assassination attempts have gone off against Hussein?
Heh, "Papa Doc" Duvalier.

I read more evidence that it was CIA. The Pakistani intelligence
service, presumably under the direction or with the knowledge of its
unelected military dictator Pervez Musharraf, actually wired Atta a
hundred thousand dollars, according to reports. I heard Atta meet with
some Iraqis in Czechoslovakia.
Hey, if there are no flight recordings and all, how do we know the
hijackers used boxcutters?
