MITTERRAND SHIFTS HIS GAZE

PRESIDENT MITTERRAND has said that France would only reconstruct the Iraqi nuclear installation destroyed by Israel if Iraq agrees to the strictest safeguards against military use of the plant. Who is telling the truth, Iraq which claims the reactor was not used for military purposes, France which has said that it could not have been, Brazil which has announced that they supplied Iraq with heavy fuels that could be put to bomb building, or Israel which says that secret reports show that the reactor was 'live' to the possibilities of military use? The answer is unclear, but what is perfectly obvious is that Israel's raid is thought to be unjustified throughout the world, that M. Mitterrand is highly embarrassed and must protest against the death ·of a French worker within the plant.
