The U.S. bombing of Libya during which Kaddafi's adopted daughter was killed was in retaliation to the 1986 Berlin "La Belle" disco bombing, which a ZDF investigative report revealed to be a joint CIA-MOSSAD false flag operation. The full report can be found at <A href="http://www.wsws.org">www.wsws.org</A> under "US Militarism". MOSSAD defector Victor Ostrovsky wrote that his ex-employers subsequently planted a transmitter in Libya that the NSA picked up, prompting the time-honored knee-jerk U.S. response of sending in the carriers (paid for em, might as well use em). </FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=363130219-25102001></SPAN></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=363130219-25102001>In 1988, The USS Vincennes downed an Iran Air jet killing 290 people. Iran put out a contract for a retaliatory terrorist attack. The contractor was Ahmed Jibril of the FPLP-GC, based in Damascus. Ollie North's arms/drugs/hostages operation also got involved and less than 6 months after the Iran Air massacre, PanAm 103 went down with the full knowledge of the CIA, taking with it a DIA team that was headed back to Washington to blow the whistle on Ollie. The "evidence" incriminating Libya was planted on the Lockerbie crash site weeks later in afterthought.

Who put out the contract for that one, I wonder? And another naive question: How come terrorist mecca Damascus never gets a visit from the 7th fleet's brave pilots, what with Syria being evil Iran's ally and all?</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><SPAN class=363130219-25102001> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><SPAN class=363130219-25102001> </SPAN>-----Original Message-----<BR><B>From:</B> owner-lbo-talk@lists.panix.com [mailto:owner-lbo-talk@lists.panix.com]<B>On Behalf Of </B>Mark Pavlick<BR><SPAN class=363130219-25102001><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>(...) </FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2><SPAN class=363130219-25102001></SPAN></FONT><FONT color=#000000><FONT face=Arial>The U.S. experience with Libya demonstrates both the perils of a military response and the possibilities for international justice. Initially, the U.S., bombed Libya for its alleged role in the killing of U.S. soldiers; Libya retaliated by bombing Pam Am 103 over Lockerbie. At that point, U.S. officials recognized that more bombing would lead to a spiraling cycle of violence and turned to the U.N. International pressure was applied; and eventually the Libyans extradited the suspects for trial.<SPAN class=363130219-25102001><FONT color=#0000ff size=2> </FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#000000><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=363130219-25102001><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>(...)</FONT> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV></X-SIGSEP></BODY></HTML>
