The title of the thread should specify the post as containing’ DAY 2 and Day 3 of the 12 part series. If possible please correct my mistake. There will be more of these and it would help keep them straight and tell people if they’ve already read it.
Earlier USA involvement vs. Qadafi. The name Robert Bag appears.
- On 16 December 1991 the London-based Arab newspaper “Al-Hayat” reported that its correspondent had visited a CIA-run training camp in the state of Virginia for the Libyan hostages that the USA had kidnapped from Chad.
These troops had already received some training in Chad under the leadership of Colonel Robert Bag, the former American ambassador to Chad. Bag had even planned to transport them to the USA and train them there for subsequent sabotage actions against the (Libya) Jamahiriya.
A man calling himself “Khalifa Haftar” admitted this quite openly in an interview for “Al-Hayat” on 19 December 1991.
He added that the Americans had declared that they were fully prepared to offer every type of training for air and ground operations against the Jamahiriya.
