Transcribed from the clipping

“Allegations of this nature have been repeatedly put out by Arab propaganda sources in recent years and proved to be totally unfounded in the light of detailed and documented investigations.”

Context added by this archive

The Sunday Times of London published its investigation on 19 June 1977 and the New York Times reported it the next morning. The quotation here is the Israeli embassy’s statement, and the sentence directly beneath it on the same page is about a benzene fire in Vienna’s sewers.
