For over three decades, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) meticulously crafted a clandestine plan to neutralize Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's autocratic ruler who posed a significant threat to US interests and stability in the Middle East. The agency's covert operations involved recruiting and training Libyan dissidents, establishing clandestine communication networks, and orchestrating bombings and coup attempts. Through a series of calculated moves, the CIA sought to weaken Gaddafi's regime, sow discord within his inner circle, and ultimately engineer his downfall. This complex and long-term plot culminated in the 2011 NATO-backed intervention that led to Gaddafi's overthrow and death.
