In its link to a Workers World profile of former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark, Google News displays (or, at 08.45 GMT this morning, displayed) the following sentence: “On April 16, 1986, warplanes took off from Lockerbie, Scotland, and attacked Tripoli while US aircraft carriers shelled Benghazi, Libya.”
The relevant portion of the article itself (now) reads as follows: “On April 16, 1986, warplanes took off from Lakenheath AFB, Scotland, and attacked Tripoli while US aircraft carriers shelled Benghazi, Libya. Clark filed lawsuits against the US and British governments. He also opposed the recent US-aided overthrow of the Libyan government.”
Lakenheath is not, of course, in Scotland but in the southern English county of Suffolk.
