I don't get your point. If, according to the intelligence reports you
highlight, the Lockerbie bombing was planned around 1985 but was not
cancelled after El Dorado Canyon in 1986 and did happen in 1988, how can one
say the Libyan support and practice of terrorism has decreased after the
Tripoli bombing?

According to *Libyan* sources, often operatives were dispatched and never
contacted again to avoid detection and/or connection with Libya. If this is the
case, it *may* have been impossible for Qaddafi to "turn off" the Lockerbie
bombing after it was put into motion *before* El Dorado Canyon.


In addition to destroying two planes and killing about 450 people in the
following years, Libya also continued to support rebel movement in North
Chad (the Aouzou strip) until 1994.

Terrible, but not a factor for US citizens.

There are also reports that it supported
the FLNC, a violent Corsican separatist group.

Terrible, but not a factor for US citizens.

I'm not sure that the average coverage of
one subject or the other by the US, British, German, French, or any other
Western mainstream TV channels is the most accurate tool of analysis of what
is really going on.

It is in this country. When Qaddafi was running his mouth and threatening to
sink US Navy ships south of the ; "Line of Death", he was on TV nightly. After
El Dorado Canyon, he was seen only in regards to the Lockerbie bombing (after
they figured out it was Libyans) and his support for Iraq in 1991.
