...mistake was to confide his plans to Colonel Tahar Zbiri, a protégé of Ben Bella and-he thought-a personal foe of Boumedienne. Still aggrieved by a public bawling out by Ben Bella, Zbiri exposed the plot to Boumedienne, who then directed Zbiri, Minister of Economics Bachir Boumaza and Major Draia, commander of the national security units charged with protecting the President, to arrest Ben Bella. Though they captured him at 3 in the morning, Boumedienne's men took no chances of a rescue by Ben Bella partisans. They hustled their prisoner aboard a Russian-built...
