#3 Italy should have been booted from NATO and US forces pulled out of Sigonella decades ago:

Link to October 1985 terrorist takedown:

The control tower first denied the Egyptian plane permission to land, but relented, Americans said, after a Navy E-2C communications plane radioed to the tower that the civilian airliner was running out of fuel and that the Defense Ministry had been informed.

When the Egyptian 737 pulled to a stop on the runway, several dozen Americans from the Army Delta Force clambered out of a C-141 transport plane that had just arrived and surrounded the civilian plane. Italian paramilitary carabinieri also quickly converged on the plane.

''Our intentions were to take the Palestinians off the 737, hustle them onto the C-141 and take off for the United States,'' an Administration official said. ''The Italian commander objected. We surrounded the plane, and then the Italians surrounded us.''
