Assassination attempt on Amb. Godley in Lebanon in 1974

In an interview on OTV, Anis Naqqash (who basically infiltrated Wadi` Haddad group on behalf of Abu Jihad--as he told me years ago) talked about the assassination attempt on Godley in 1974.  He said that Fath upon learning saved the ambassador, as it often did toward Western diplomats in Lebanon.  Many Lebanese at the time were convinced that Godley was sent by the US to launch the Lebanese civil war.  His brief tenure witnessed the heavy arming of the right-wing fascist militias in Lebanon.
