Yemen's Major General Hassan Amri had long been noted for his sulfurous temper, and his desk-pounding rages frequently sent aides fleeing from his office in terror. But despite his reputation for hotheadedness, the gruff general, 48, had managed to become Premier of the primitive Arab nation no fewer than seven times since 1962, when nationalist forces supported by Egyptian troops overthrew the conservative Moslem imamate.* Now, however, Amri's temper has apparently cost a young Yemeni shopkeeper his life and Amri his job as Premier and commander in chief of the armed forces. It is unlikely...
...official press agency described as "a medical checkup." Foreign Minister Hassan Macky also left Yemen, showing up nearly a week early for an Arab foreign ministers' meeting in Cairo called to decide on an Arab summit. That left the government in charge of Field Marshal Hassan al-Amri, the army commander. Al-Amri declared a 6 p.m. curfew, ordered civilians to form militia units "to defend the republic." In Liberation Square, a howling mob watched a firing squad execute six suspected Royalist infiltrators, then dragged their bodies to the gates of the city and strung them up on poles...
...seven were part of an anti-Nasser opposition that had flared up in Yemen last month after Sallal replaced Premier Hassan Amri. Shortly after Amri's ouster, a mysterious bazooka emplacement shelled Sallal's palace in San'a. Before long, terrorists were potshotting at an Egyptian army camp outside the capital and setting fire to Egyptian installations, killing a reported 70 Egyptian troops.

If Sallal had become too fawningly dependent on Cairo, his successor, General Hassan Amri, proved to be too fiercely independent. So Nasser reinstalled Sallal as his proconsul. He was no more welcome than before. To demand that Nasser bounce Sallal once again, Amri flew to Cairo three weeks ago, taking with him, as Amri boasted, "the entire state of Yemen": nine Cabinet officers, three members of the Republican Council...
...Radio. Egyptian military police carted Amri and 15 of his most important officials off to military hospitals for "medical treatment." With Yemen's government thus quarantined in Cairo, Sallal proclaimed a new one in San'a, taking over the premiership as well as the presidency, and forming a Cabinet nearer to Nasser's desires. Sallal then took to the San'a radio to warn that the "traitors and deviationists" who had "led a campaign of doubt and suspicion between the U.A.R. and Yemen" would be brought to trial...
