A. Its principle target, "Bugs" Moran, escaped being killed.

Q. Another survivor of a failed hit was Frank Costello. The "Prime Minister" survived an assassination attempt in 1957 and lived another 16 years (in retirement). Shortly after his death the doors of his mausoleum were blown off their hinges. What mob leader ordered this to be done?
