The USS Liberty incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS Liberty, by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967.
The attack killed 34 and injured 171 Americans.
USS Liberty problem was settled decades ago. Yet there are those who like to stir old s**t and make it stink again.
No one wants to remember the USS Cole bombed by moslems. Sudan did pay reparations for that.
It was not a civilian airliner and it was in a war zone.
