The editor of the authoritative aeronautical journal, “Janes All The World’s Aircraft” said here today that Israel will have a missile with a nuclear warhead within two years capable of reaching Cairo, Alexandria, Beirut, Amman and Damascus. According to John Taylor, the missile, a 280-mile MD-660, is being built by Marcel Dassault, the French aviation firm, and the nuclear warhead is being developed entirely at Israel’s nuclear reactor center in Dimona. Mr. Taylor said the missile has already been tested in the Mediterranean.
