bludgard Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Edit:9. Which former US President was the target of an Iraqi plot to assassinate him in 1993? Had to be one of the Bushs; no one hated Americans with such passion prior to their leadership.Edit:George H. W. BushApril 13, 1993: After Bush left the White House, fourteen men believed to be working for Saddam Hussein smuggled bombs into Kuwait to assassinate former president Bush by a car bomb during his visit to Kuwait University several months after he had left office.[30] The plot was foiled when Kuwaiti officials found the bomb and arrested the suspected assassins. Two of the suspects, Wali Abdelhadi Ghazali and Raad Abdel-Amir al-Assadi, retracted their confessions at the trial, claiming that they were coerced.[31] Bush had left office in January 1993. The Iraqi Intelligence Service, particularly Directorate 14, was proved to be behind the plot.[32]On June 27, 1993 President Bill Clinton ordered retaliation against Iraq as part of Operation Southern Watch; 23 Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired against the Iraqi Intelligence Headquarters. Clinton had decided to act based on three pieces of evidence: first, suspects in the plot confessed to FBI agents in Kuwait. Second, FBI bomb experts linked the captured car bombs to the same explosives made in Iraq, including a 175-pound car bomb found in Kuwait City on April 14. Third, intelligence reports confirmed that Saddam had been plotting to assassinate the former President for some time. Leaders from both parties supported Clinton's attack.[33]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_assassination_attempts_and_plots Edit dux: Beats gettin' whipped by a shoe....http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zSHNRNi91wQ Edit tre: WTF can't I imbed a freakin' Youtube video "sometimes"....
