Attempt to assassinate Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi went disastrously wrong and was covered up, ex-Italian PM reveals Former two-time premier Giuliano Amato said the aircraft was attacked by mistake over the Mediterranean Sea and a Libyan military jet was the real target.
Amato appealed to French President Emmanuel Macron to either refute or confirm his assertion about the cause of the crash of Itavia flight 870 on June 27, 1980.
