ransomnote: His anonmity has been protected so far. Here's an excerpt from an article about him.
“Bob” refers to the CIA Chief of Base (also called station chief or base chief) in Benghazi; official sources and congressional reports use this title or the pseudonym without releasing a real name.

- 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.
