Mossad Linked to 1965 Disappearance of Moroccan Politician Mehdi Ben Barka, Book Claims

In a statement to Europe 1 radio, the New York Times reporter said that "the Israeli Mossad did not participate in the kidnapping and torture of Mehdi Ben Barka, but had followed his trail and helped the Moroccans get rid of his remains".

"Sprinkled with a chemical substance to accelerate its decomposition, the body of the Moroccan politician had been buried under the current Louis Vuitton museum, in the Burgon forest," he specified.

Kidnapped on October 29, 1965 in front of the Parisian brasserie Lipp, the eternal opponent of King Hassan II, who had chaired the day before the Preparatory Committee of the Tricontinental Conference due to bring together in January 1966 the representatives of the liberation movements of the peoples of Africa, Asia and Latin America, had been murdered later, with the help of the French government and the Israeli Mossad.
