Richard Vaux has done his share of dirty work, but nothing like this. His employer, Trans World Airlines, wants him and a crew to sneak into Beirut, Lebanon, at the height of a civil war, to reclaim an airplane hijacked by Palestinian terrorists. TWA can't say for sure whether the plane will fly or whether it has been wired to explode in flight. And that's assuming they aren't attacked by one or more of the rival militias who pass the time shooting at each other across the tarmac, but only because there haven't been any Americans to kidnap in a while.

Questo è quello che vorrebbe farci credere la ricostruzione ufficiale dei fatti, ma appare quantomeno strano che un killer professionista come Agca abbia organizzato in completa autonomia un'azione così clamorosa.
