[edit]

The bombing occurred on July 17, 1981, not June 17, 1981.

The timing of the attack - Friday, July 17 - infuriated officials in the Reagan Administration, who had already prepared a press release to announce the resumption of deliveries of F-16 fighterbombers, which had been held up because of Israel's bombing of an Iraqi nuclear reactor on June 7.

-- NYT, July 31, 1981

The title and body of the entry needs to be changed to reflect this. It should also be removed from the "June 1981 events in Asia" category accordingly. 2600:1700:D8C0:1D40:31BA:D6DC:9F33:3B3A (talk) 21:58, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
