Two years after operation Eldorado Canyon, in 1988, a PanAm 747 exploded
over Lockerbie, Scotland : 270 casualties.

If you believe intelligence officials (both US and German), that operation was
in progress for over three years, ordered before El Dorado Canyon.

Lybia *officially* gave up terrorism in 1992, under the international
pressure and, above all, an UN embargo. It has nothing to do with Eldorado
Canyon.

Libya's overt support for international terrorists and even Qaddafi's covert
support were severely curtailed after El Dorado Canyon. Did they "officially"
announce they were giving up their support of terrorists? No, but actions speak
louder than words and Qaddafi has been seen on US TV approximately a half dozen
times since El Dorado Canyon which tells me, at least from a US perspective,
that the strike had the required effect.
