On 14 April 1986 , Andreotti revealed to Libyan Foreign Minister Abdel Rahman Shalgham that the United States would bomb Libya the next day in retaliation for the Berlin disco terrorist attack which had been linked to Libya . As a result of the warning from Italy – a supposed ally of the US – Libya was better prepared for the bombing . Nevertheless , on the following day Libya fired two Scuds at the Italian island of Lampedusa in retaliation . However , the missiles passed over the island , landing in the sea , and caused no damage . As Craxi 's relationship with the then-National Secretary of the DC , Ciriaco De Mita , was even worse , Andreotti was instrumental in the creation of the so-called " CAF triangle " ( from the initials of the surnames of Craxi , Andreotti and another DC leader , Arnaldo Forlani ) opposing De Mita 's power
