Something about hitting a chemical factory?<br /><br />Reagan jumped to the conclusion that Libya was behind Lockerbie the minute he heard about it, before the evidence about the Autumn Leaves findings in Germany became common currency in the investigation - which happened almost immediately after that, certainly before the end of the year.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.com
