Seems a bit fishy claim...
The press release for the BBC documentary film Dead in the Water states
that new recorded and other evidence suggests the attack was a "daring
ploy by Israel to fake an Egyptian attack" to give America a reason to
enter the war against Egypt. It claimed that President Lyndon B. Johnson launched allegedly nuclear-armed aircraft targeted against Cairo from a
U.S. aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean. The aircraft were recalled
only just in time, when it was clear the Liberty had not been sunk and
that Israel had carried out the attack. An information source for the
aircraft being nuclear-armed, James Ennes later stated:
It is clear that I was mistaken about the aircraft involved, as F4s do
not carry nuclear weapons. Others tell me that the aircraft that were
launched carried Bullpup missiles, which might easily be mistaken for
nuclear bombs. And we learned much later that the USS America was
involved in a nuclear weapons loading drill at the very time the ship
learned of the attack on the Liberty and that this drill is one factor
that delayed America's response to our call for help. It is also
possible that those were the weapons seen by our sources.
Also confusing this issue is an oral history report from the American
Embassy in Cairo, now in the LBJ Library, which notes that the Embassy
received an urgent message from Washington warning that Cairo was about
to be bombed by U.S. forces, presumably in mistaken retaliation for the
USS Liberty attack. That strange message was never explained or
cancelled.[101]
The video also reports hearsay of a covert alliance of U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies.[102]
