Prince Mohamed ben Hussein, commander of the Royalist army, sat on a carpet spread in front of the mountain cave that has been his headquarters for most of Yemen's five-year civil war. Before him were the turbaned chiefs of the country's most powerful tribes, summoned for a council of war. At long last, announced Ben Hussein, his army was ready to launch a march on San'a -the final offensive, he hoped, that would retake the capital and finish off the Republican regime...
...Premier Ahmed Mohammed Noman, 65, and former Acting Presidents Abdul Rahman Iryani, 67, and Mohammed Ali Othman, 65. All three had recently returned to Yemen after a year of political imprisonment in Cairo, where Nasser had held them at Sallal's behest for demanding peace talks with the Royalists.

In his own camp, moreover, Sallal embarked on a reign of terror in which thousands of his for mer supporters have been jailed and dozens more executed. He has become so widely despised that not even...
...Arabia's King Feisal promised to stop their five-year confrontation in Yemen. They signed a treaty under which Nasser will pull out the 20,000 troops that now prop up Yemen's Leftist Premier Abdullah Sallal, Feisal will stop sending arms to Sallal's tough Royalist enemies, and three neutral Arab states will send in observers to make sure that no one cheats. If carried out as promised, that pact would almost certainly result in the fall of Sallal, and the Yemen Premier immediately let out a loud complaint. Big Brother, he wailed, had betrayed...
