Television on Wednesday aired for the first time footage of a bombing on an Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981 and minute preparations leading up to the widely condemned attack. The 90-minute film directed by Nir Toyb showed how the secret service and the army planned the attack and prepared the pilots for any eventuality, then showed the actual June 7, 1981, raid on the Tammouz reactor, west of Baghdad. Tammouz was believed to be key to an Iraqi nuclear bomb program. The attack was condemned internationally.
