Last week Tshombe sat in a shuttered police cell in Algiers, having been kidnaped on a private airplane over the Mediterranean and flown into Algeria.

...from Arab lands, could easily make that up by pumping more from its underused Texas wells. And the Arabs' friend, Russia, has already offered to sell Britain as much oil as it needs. The threat of nationalization of U.S. and British oil properties also seemed hollow.
