"Former Italy PM Claims France Deliberately Shot Down Passenger Jet to Assassinate Gaddafi"

Former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato has alleged that France ordered the shooting down of an Italian passenger jet in 1980 in an attempt to kill Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Amato claimed that the French air force inadvertently fired a missile that downed the plane, leading to the death of all 81 people on board. While Amato lacks solid evidence to support his claims, the allegation could strain Franco-Italian relations, which have already been tense due to recent diplomatic disagreements.
