Pro-Libyan Lebanese fired a rocket at a West Beirut building containing offices of the American Life Insurance Co. and hurled a bomb at a British Airways ticket office, but there were no injuries, Beirut police reported. In Britain, police said they were investigating reports that Libyan pilots being training at a private British flying school have volunteered to form “suicide squads against America.” The offer was made in a phone call to a Tripoli radio station, according to the British Broadcasting Corp., which monitors the world’s airwaves. About 20 Libyans are enrolled at the Oxford Air Training School, Europe’s largest private air school.
