...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. Sallal's troops then swooped down on some 140 suspects, including Mohamed Ruwainy, Sallal's ex-Minister for Tribal Affairs, and Colonel Hadi Issa, former deputy chief of staff of Sallal...
...mail-order dealers commonly get around this barrier by shipping pistols and revolvers by common carriers and commercial delivery services. No federal law requires the shippers to question the qualifications of the buyer or notify police. Some dealers also offer a variety of heavy, war-surplus antitank guns and bazookas. One youngster with a mail-order bazooka shot several thousand dollars' worth of transformers off utility posts before he was arrested. Four California youths, using a 20-mm. antitank gun bought for $150, shot a blast that set fire to part of the Angeles National Forest...
...night before, found bunks, medical supplies and a Russian flag in the building. A heavy, hydraulically operated concrete door led to a cavern in the hillside behind the house. There, in a vault-shaped room, was an impressive arsenal of weapons: a 20-mm. cannon, a 3.5-in. bazooka, stacks of rifles, pistols, homemade mortar tubes and hundreds of shells, grenades and shaped demolition charges.

On the outskirts of town, two battalions of Simbas rained mortar, bazooka and machine-gun fire on the commandos. A spearhead led by Hoare's two armored cars finally broke through, but it was two long days before he was in firm control of Baraka, and then only after most of the town had been destroyed. Death toll: five commandos, 215 Simbas...
...those desperate words of welcome, the rattle and burp of rebel gunfire echoed from the smoking city center barely a mile up the road. Down the street went the marines, most of them green, all of them scared, grimly clutching M14 rifles, M60 machine guns and 3.5-in. bazookas. Now the firing grew in intensity, and rebel bullets whined past the U.S. troops. Near the U.S. embassy, two marines caught the full blast from a hidden machine-gun nest in an unfinished building a short distance away. Nine more were wounded before bazooka men came up to blast the nest...
