...earlier bombing of a factory at Abu Zabal (TIME, Feb. 23), Israel collared its pilots. When Israeli jets took to the air, they were restricted to unmistakable military targets, bombing SA-2 missile sites at Dahshur and Helwan in the Cairo perimeter and Egyptian installations along the Suez Canal. President Gamal Abdel Nasser also claimed that he was practicing moderation. When...
...Hour Warning. Western correspondents summoned to Abu Zabal found a rustic, peaceful scene on the town's fringes. Fellahin stolidly plowed their fields. On an adjacent canal, tall-masted feluccas sailed gracefully. At the National Metal Industries Co., however, fires smoldered everywhere, and at a hospital close by, bodies were stacked like cordwood. Because the Israelis so rarely make mistakes, there was doubt that the attack was inadvertent. Yet Israeli officials seemed genuinely surprised when reports began coming out of Egypt on the bombing of the factory. Finally, the military command announced that there had been inaccurate bombing because...
Since the program was launched at a party plenum in December, the official press has been full of astounding reports: a ten-mile irrigation canal was dug in the Dibra district in eight hours, 49 five-ton tractor trailers were turned out of a truck plant in twelve hours, an "assault group" cut 1,137.5 cords of wood in seven days...
...drifting sands of the Sinai Peninsula had not yet settled over the wreckage of Arab war machines in 1967 when Israel and Egypt became locked in another fevered contest. Since the Suez Canal was closed indefinitely by the Six-Day War, forcing oil tankers to make the long and costly journey around the Cape of Good Hope, both countries hastily revived plans to build pipelines. These lines were intended to transmit Middle East oil more quickly and cheaply to the Mediterranean for shipment to Europe and the Western Hemisphere. Last week Egypt's plans were still on the drawing...
...pipeline, which will extend 207 miles from a point south of Suez to Alexandria, has been long delayed. Building is now scheduled to begin next October. The line is also expected to have an eventual capacity of 420 million bbl. a year. If and when the Suez Canal is reopened, Egyptian officials have elaborate plans for widening and deepening it. Even with that, it might not accommodate fully laden supertankers of more than 200,000 tons. Egypt expects oil from the larger tankers to be drained into its pipeline at the Gulf of Suez and then be reloaded aboard vessels...
