About ten years ago (maybe 15) Quadaffi sent an assassin to Egypt. Egypt announced the assassin succeeded in his task and had killed multiple government officials. Quadafi announced with much hoopla that it was *he* who had arranged it.
Well, it turns out that the assassin had not succeeded and no one had been killed. Apparently it was a big embarrassment to Quadaffi. No big deal in this country but in the Middle East it was a huge embarrassment.
Hahahaha
