...them taking part in Tripoli's intervention in neighboring Chad in 1980. He is also suspected of peddling sophisticated American electronic equipment to Middle East countries and attempting to sell U.S. computer technology to the Soviet Union. Investigators in Colorado have linked him to a former Green Beret who shot a Libyan student in Fort Collins two years ago. Federal grand juries in several cities are looking into his activities, and more indictments are likely this summer...

...separate instructions on the law from the judge, and going into seclusion to weigh six possible guilty verdicts, the jurors in a Fort Collins, Colo., courthouse had every right to be confused. At issue were such wispy questions as whether Eugene Tafoya, 45, a much decorated former Green Beret, was working for the CIA or, in effect, for Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, when Tafoya knocked on the door of Libyan Student Faisal Zagallai, 36, in Fort Collins on Oct. 14,1980, and left the outspoken anti-Gaddafi dissident lying on the floor with two bullet wounds in his head...
