Shots Hit U.N. Copter in Lebanon

A U.N. helicopter carrying the French ambassador to Lebanon and two French National Assembly delegates was hit by ground fire today and made an emergency landing, the French Embassy reported.

Sources at the embassy said no one was injured when the helicopter encountered a hail of machine-gun and anti-aircraft fire near the southern port city of Tyre and landed in an area policed by the U.N. Interim Force nearby. Aboard were French Ambassador Christian Graeff and delegates Jean-Francois Deniau, a Gaullist, and Andre Bellon, a Socialist, the sources said.
