State Department finds Israeli negligence in Liberty attack
After reviewing 36 years of records the State Department said Israel’s 1967 attack on the U S Navy ship Liberty was due to Israeli negligence. The U S also bears fault for not notifying Israel the ship was in international waters and not withdrawing it from the war zone. Thirty four Americans died and more than 170 were wounded. Israel had compensated families and apologized, saying it mistook the Liberty for an Egyptian carrier.
