Army Special Forces tied to unapproved Libyan training mission
Senior Army Special Forces officers allegedly allowed an officer to recruit former Green Berets to train Libyan terrorists in 1977 without CIA authorization. Participants say the mission proceeded under the belief it was legal, with later confirmation that the CIA had not formally endorsed the operation. Luke F. Thompson, a retired master sergeant, claims he received special leave to travel to Libya and work with locals for over a month before being told the plan lacked CIA endorsement.
