Israel today denied that its airplanes or pilots had attacked the Iraqi nuclear reactor in Tamur or “had anything to do” with such an air raid. The Israel Embassy in Paris issued a communique today condemning any speculation on this subject.
The Israeli communique was issued after a French paper, Le Matin, reported yesterday that France is convinced the attack was carried out by Israeli Phantom jets. French and Israeli sources say this subject was not discussed by Israeli Ambassador Meir Rosenne when he met this morning French Premier Raymond Barre.
