...commission also took a fairly strong position against Major General Yehoshua Saguy, 49, the director of Israeli military intelligence. Saguy had not trusted the Phalangists and did not want to cooperate with them.

Saguy testified that he was not informed beforehand that the Phalangists would be allowed to enter the camps. When he learned what had happened, he did nothing.

The French suspect the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad was responsible for the raid. In June one of Iraq's top nuclear scientists was found bludgeoned to death in a Paris hotel room. In that case, however, French police were less convinced that the murder had anything to do with international antinuclear intrigue...
...five continents, producing what they call "research-fiction." In the process, they talked with U.S. nuclear scientists at Los Alamos, civil defense experts in New York, Arab students in Europe and North Africa, and Israeli generals, not to mention a brace of agents from the CIA, Israel's Mossad and the S.D.E.C.E., the French secret service...
