...eight countries, among them Israel, South Africa and Paraguay, recognize it. Tin miners continue a costly strike ($1.5 million a day in lost export earnings). Not even all the military approve of the coup: Garcia Meza's reshuffling of troop commanders is seen as a clear sign of suspect allegiance. Archbishop Jorge Manriquez Hurtado of La Paz and Bolivia's Council of Bishops have condemned the junta for creating a "climate of violence."

...band of saboteurs infiltrated a top-security compound near the French port city of Toulon and exploded plastic charges near two reactor cores that were scheduled to be shipped to Iraq three days later; the explosions caused extensive damage and delayed the program by months. 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.
