"Ex-Italian Premier Demands Truth from Paris: French Missile Blamed for 1980 Passenger Jet Downfall"

Former Italian premier Giuliano Amato claims that a French air force missile accidentally brought down an Italian passenger jet in 1980 in a failed attempt to assassinate Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Amato called on French President Emmanuel Macron to confirm or refute his assertion. The cause of the crash, which killed all 81 people on board, has long been a mystery, with some suggesting a bomb explosion and others pointing to a missile strike. Amato alleges that Italy tipped off Gadhafi, preventing him from boarding a Libyan military jet. Macron's office has not yet commented on the claims.
