France to Share Intelligence with Italy on 1980 Ustica Plane Crash

France has agreed to disclose to Italy its intelligence on the 1980 Ustica massacre, where a civilian flight exploded over the island of Ustica, killing 81. The incident is believed to have involved a dogfight between Libyan and NATO jets pursuing a plane thought to carry Gaddafi. This marks a rare transparency move by France, potentially reopening a Cold War mystery and affecting bilateral relations.
