Tunisia Asks U.N. to Condemn Raid, Fix Reparations
Tunisia called on the Security Council today to “vigorously condemn” Israel’s bombing raid on PLO headquarters in Tunis and force the Jewish state to pay reparations.

“No act of terrorism has been committed from Tunisia and no Tunisian has ever been involved in such an act,” the Tunisian foreign minister said.
