I don't think so. I would imagine that the word on something as huge as an attempted hit on Michael Corleone in his house, in his bedroom where his wife sleeps and his children come to play with their toys would get around pretty fast. Pentangeli knew about it, and this would assume that so did Pentangeli's men, and in turn there would be a buzz among everyone who was "connected."


How would news like a hit attempt on Michael, right in his own home, travel around? Who would dare leak that kind of news and take the chance that the enemy would know that they failed and possibly make another attempt?

You cannot count Frankie because he WAS a part of the Corleone family and in the chain of command. Word could travel within the family, but I don't see that the outsiders would be told, unless of course they were "informed."
