Sicilian Mafia Sent Hit Man To Whack Giuliani

Andy Soltis at the New York Post offers a piece on the Sicilian Cosa Nostra's assassination plans for Rudy Giuliani.

The head of the Sicilian mafia sent a hit man to America to arrange the murder of Rudy Giuliani in the 1980s, Italian news media reported.
