A couple of reminders: The United States was not pleased with Israel's destruction of Iraq's Osiraq nuclear reactor. You can watch a video interview with the lead pilot in the raid, Zev Raz, here.
You can watch a five-part video called Raid on the Reactor, which tells the Osirak story, here. It includes some amazing footage.
