The Israeli government has “formally requested” United States support to “prevent a one-sided decision” of the UN Security Council on Israel’s raid in Beirut April 10 against Arab terrorists, the Israeli Embassy informed newsmen last night. A spokesman said the request was conveyed by Israeli Ambassador Simcha Dinitz to Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Alfred L. Atherton. The U.S. vetoed a Security Council action deemed one-sided last autumn after other Israeli movements against terrorists following the killing of Israeli athletes at the Olympic Games and the Lod Airport massacre.
