Funny thing was that the weapons were shipped to Iran via Israel.
Even more fun was the arms dealer involved in the deal called Manucher Ghorbanifar.
Big story in the 1980s was a Libyan hit squad in US on orders to assassinate President Reagan. There was Libyan terror squads carrying out attacks in Europe. The story was everywhere then just disappeared as quickly as it started.
CIA warned of Ghorbanifar as “ fabricator”
The "hit squad" intelligence, though unverified, was publicized by White House officials at the time and caused a news media sensation. The CIA and the National Security Agency had other sources on the purported Libyan threat, sources said, but a CIA report on the incident concluded that Ghorbanifar was the main source who kept the threat alive for several months.
Another interesting name in the deal. Adnan Khashoggi: Saudi billionaire arms dealer dies aged 82
Was Dodi Fayed’s Uncle. Adnan Was also related to murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Small world isn’t it
