Some of the readers may not have heard the hoax of Libyan Hit Squad, which made front page of the Washington Post for three weeks soon after Ronald Reagan moved into the White House in 1981. It was story of how Qaddafi’s hired hitmen from Middle East had reached Canada via Europe and were about to cross into United States. Washington got so scared of this ‘highly reliable’ information – it built heavy concrete barriers around the White House, Capitol Hill and State Department – some of which are still there. However, the hoax started to crumble when someone realized the names of the ‘hitmen’ reported by the Washington Post happened to be Shia names, who could not have agreed to collaborate with anti-Shia Qaddafi.

Suddenly the hit squads disappeared from The Post, never to return. Five years later, a two-line item in The Post told the truth. The item appeared in a story, not about the hit squads, but about the Iran-Contra scandal, the worst foreign policy scandal in U.S. history.

Manucher Ghorbanifar, a small-time Iranian exile working in Washington for Mossad, Israel’s secret intelligence service, confessed in 1986 that he had dreamed up the hit squads. Why? “To hurt Libya, an enemy of Israel.”
