Were any attempts made to hit Gigante from Gotti? Only because I assume he HAD to know who set it in motion.
There's this from Capeci:
"Three weeks ago, the FBI warned reputed Genovese boss Vincent "The Chin" Gigante of an alleged plot by Gambino boss John Gotti to assassinate him.
---
The sources said warnings of Gotti's retaliatory plot were delivered by FBI agent Damon Taylor to Gigante's brothers - Mario, a reputed crew member, and the Rev. Louis Gigante, a former city councilman now affiliated with St. Athanasius Church in the Bronx.
Taylor, the supervisor of a "Genovese squad" that has been investigating the 60-year-old Vincent Gigante for five years, declined comment.
Louis Gigante, who has denied his brothers have any organized crime ties, could not be reached for comment.
Authorities also have warned a key Gigante aide, Dominick "Baldy Dom" Canterino, that his life may be in jeopardy. Canterino was sentenced last year to 12 years in prison for extortion but is free pending appeal.
Sources said FBI agents notified Canterino's lawyer, Michael Pollack, that Gotti's hit squad had set its sights on him. Pollack declined comment.

Sources refused to say whether the plot against Gigante had been picked up on a bug or wiretap."
