...Middle East, reaction was predictably mixed. The P.L.O. was favorably impressed, despite the disapproval of some of its radical factions. If the P.L.O. should endorse the Saudi plan, it is unlikely that other Arab states would oppose it strongly, though some of the more radical, such as Libya, might publicly protest...
...emerged from Multiponics' bankruptcy in 1971 with a profit of some $750,000; he insisted he had lost almost his entire $145,000 investment. The same CIA sources apparently spread a false report that Casey and Hugel had planned a covert operation aimed at the "ultimate" removal of Libya's Strongman Muammar Gadaffi from power.

It took until April 1980, nearly four years after Mulcahy talked, for Wilson and Terpil to be finally charged with conspiring to sell explosives to Libya and to commit murder. Both are fugitives overseas and federal investigators believe they are still training terrorists in Tripoli. Their work pays well. They have bought more than $5 million worth of real estate in the U.S. and England...
