French President Emmanuel Macron must
lift any secrecy surrounding a French military base on Corsica
from which a jet may have flown and shot a missile possibly
aimed at Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi that may have downed an
Italian airliner over Ustica in June 1980 killing all 81 on
board, ex premier Giuliano Amato told the foreign press Tuesday.
"To the young French president Macron, who was two years old at
the time, I ask that he free us from the Solenzara issue (the
military base in Corsica from which the fighter jet that
possibly launched the missile against the Dc9 may have departed,
according to one of the investigative leads, ed.)," said the
former Socialist prime minister.
Amato says the French missile at Gaddafi hypothesis is the most
likely explanation for the disaster, but he does not have the
truth.
Gaddafi was not in the targeted plane because he was allegedly
tipped off by late Socialist premier Bettino Craxi, Amato has
hinted.
