May Libya air raid aimed at Gadhafi
A New York Times magazine report says White House officials planned April Libya bombing aimed at Muammar Gadhafi but failed as laser guidance on four of nine F-111s misfired. The piece notes involvement of Poindexter and North, claims Israeli intelligence pinpointed Gadhafi, and cites unidentified sources about hit targets and tied arms shipments to Iran.
