The Israel Embassy here today denied persistent rumors claiming that Israel has sought the extradition of Mordechai Louk, alias Joseph Dahan. He is the man rescued last week when Egyptian diplomats tried to abduct him, after he had been slugged, doped and placed inside a trunk addressed as diplomatic air mail to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry in Cairo. The Israel Embassy stated flatly that the question of extraditing Louk has not been even discussed with Italian officials.
