Why did Reagan bomb Libya?
Reagan ordered the bombing of Tripoli after the CIA determined that Libyan secret forces bombed a night club in West Berlin. The bombing was the most direct action the U.S. had taken against Libya, but not the first. The U.S. Navy had been engaging Libyan planes and ships in the Mediterranean Sea since 1981 in waters that Libya claimed and the U.S. disputed as international waters. It is important to note that Gaddhafi, the leader of Libya, was viewed with deep suspicion much in the same way that Saddam Hussein and now Ahmadenajad. All made the same "death to America" saber-rattling speeches. It may be deduced, if it is not accurate, to say that the 1986 bombing of Tripoli lead to the 1988 bombing of Pan Am flight 103 by Libya.

Who was the US President during the attack on Libya caused by a bombing at a Disco?
Libya attacked a night club in 1986, so Ronald Regan was the President who attacked Libya because of a West Berlin bombing of the La Belle Disco that killed two US servicemen on 5 April 1986. An F111F and its USAF crew were lost in the attack and 45 Libyan soldiers and government employees were killed plus 15 Libyan civilians.
Why were trade sanctions used against Libya?
Trade sanctions were imposed against Libya primarily due to its involvement in international terrorism, particularly the 1986 bombing of a Berlin discotheque and the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, which resulted in numerous civilian casualties. These sanctions aimed to pressure the Libyan government to cease its support for terrorist groups and to adhere to international norms. Additionally, the sanctions sought to hold Libya accountable for its actions and to protect global security interests. Over time, some sanctions were lifted as Libya took steps toward compliance with international demands.
