- BRING US THE DISCOUNTED HEAD OF MANUEL NORIEGA. A former
- Panamanian government official says the U.S. capture of Manuel
- Noriega could have been accomplished with less muscle and
- money. In 1988, he claims, he and some fellow Noriega opponents
- worked through the Israeli embassy in Washington to contact two
- former commandos of the Israeli Defense Forces. They concocted
- a plan that involved a 200-man special unit of the Ecuadoran
- army and would have cost approximately $3 million. The Rambo
- scheme was killed when the C.I.A. tipped off the Senate
- Intelligence Committee.
