At week's end there were reports that the two had been asked to leave Algeria and were on their way to another guerrilla training ground: Jordan.

Palestinian Arabs, Boumedienne said, should be allowed to settle the issue on their own rather than drag other Arabs into a general war. Boumedienne resisted Nasser's demand for more men and more money. "What do you need all this armor and equipment for?" he asked...
