Frank Edwin Terpil was a former [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] Technical Operations officer who left the agency under administrative difficulties in 1971 and subsequently built a private career in arms dealing and paramilitary consulting that brought him into serious criminal jeopardy. His primary criminal exposure arose from his partnership with [[Edwin Wilson]] in supplying weapons, C-4 plastic explosive, and military training to Libya under Muammar Qaddafi during the late 1970s.[^1]
