...hate burned menacingly across the Middle East last week, and the man with the matches was that incurable arsonist, Egypt's Gamal Abdel Nasser. In Aden, grenade-tossing pro-Nasser terrorists roamed virtually out of control through the British colony's streets. To the north in Yemen, a regime that owes its authority to an Egyptian occupation army, acting on Nasser's counsel, all but dared the U.S. to break off relations with it.* Even as far away as Kenya, Nasser's fine hand was evident as the Kenyan army discovered Egyptian land mines planted...
...impossible for Britain to make an orderly withdrawal from either Aden or the larger South Arabian Federation, of which it is a part. They have refused to take part in any coalition with the British-backed government. Instead, the Nasserite Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen (FLOSY) is training an army of more than 5,000 men in nearby Yemen to take over when the British leave.

...Nasser, his sponsorship of Saud is obviously part of his drive against all the more moderate Arab regimes symbolized and led by King Feisal. In Yemen, Nasser's cause is promoted by Sallal, who last week sent chanting mobs to stone the U.S. AID office in the city of Taiz. Displeased by the low level of U.S. economic assistance, Sallal arrested two U.S. officials on wild charges, said that they would be tried for attempting "to destroy" Taiz by firing a bazooka into an ammunition dump. The U.S. reacted by canceling its aid program and warning Sallal that...
