Editing Adnan Khashoggi (section)

==Critical Perspective==
Khashoggi’s CIA connections are well-documented through Iran-Contra and his relationships with agency figures, but his link to Operation Gladio is less certain, relying on circumstantial ties to arms networks and figures like Al-Kassar. The lack of primary evidence reflects Gladio’s clandestine nature and the difficulty of verifying claims in a web of covert operations. His role as an arms dealer and financier positioned him at the intersection of intelligence, geopolitics, and organized crime, making him a plausible but unconfirmed player in Gladio’s broader network.
