Why does Israel need to have an official denial ?

When the word got out, they stopped and issued the usual official denials.

And he did not believe official denials that no one in Federal law enforcement had any warning of the attack.

Only after that questioning was today's official denial issued.

And despite official denials in Washington, it is highly unlikely that any such action will come.

There are other problems with the official denial as well as the length of time it took to make one.

An official denial from Moscow will be forthcoming if necessary.

Meanwhile, we're still waiting for that official denial from the Smith spouses.

Meanwhile, the pair has yet to issue an official denial.

Investigation proves very difficult, since complainants are exposed to significant personal risk and official denial.
