Foreign Minister Abba Eban today denied a London Sunday Times report that Israel was maintaining military attaches with African rebel forces in southern Sudan and was assisting the rebels. Replying to questions in the Knesset Mr. Eban said Israel was rendering aid to Kenya, Uganda and Kinshasa Congo within the framework of its technical assistance program. He said the nature of the aid was the training of para-military youth battalions along the lines of Israel’s Gadna and “Nahal,” soldier-farmers, for those nations.
