"Former Italian PM Alleges France's Involvement in Failed Assassination Plot via 1980 Passenger Jet Crash"

Former Italian Prime Minister Giuliano Amato has claimed that France, with the assistance of the United States, was responsible for the 1980 crash of an Italian passenger jet that killed 81 people. Amato alleges that the plane was shot down by a French fighter jet in a failed assassination attempt on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, who they believed was on board. The French government has yet to respond to the claims, but both France and the US have consistently denied any involvement in the incident. Amato has called on French President Emmanuel Macron to either disprove the allegations or offer sincere apologies to Italy and the victims' families.
