Carlos reveals prison secrets on Gaddafi
The Washington Post reported that Carlos the Jackal confirmed that Muammar Gaddafi was the one who ordered the attack on OPEC in Vienna in 1975, not Saddam Hussein as was previously believed. The incident was an attempt to assassinate Saudi Oil Minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani and Iran's representative, amid intra-OPEC disputes over oil prices following the 1973 embargo, with the aim of pressuring the West. Carlos, who was 26 years old at the time, played a role in the hostage-taking operation, but he affirmed that Gaddafi abandoned the group during the crisis and described him as a "madman." This revelation confirms that Gaddafi was the true mastermind behind the attack, portraying his role as a front for hired terrorism during that period.
