...take on Israel, made the first mistake by signing a mutual defense pact with his fellow leftists in Syria. His intention was to brake the schemes of the Damascus regime to precipitate war with Israel at any cost, but the Baathists proved impossible to restrain; they kept up irksome terrorist attacks over the Israeli border. Stung by these attacks, Premier Eshkol made the second error by threatening war against Syria to stop them. Charging that an Israeli invasion was on the way, Syria thereupon mobilized its troops and called on Egypt to mobilize also under the mutual de fense treaty...
Beginning in 1960 I went all around South Vietnam making 1/25000 military maps for the U.S. and I have witnessed many times the so-called Communist terrorist activities.

Early last week the squad slid by night over the side of a Cuban sailing bark off the Venezuelan coast near Machurucuto, 70 miles east of Caracas, and started toward shore in two rafts. In the surf, one raft capsized, drowning one of the Cubans. Finding a deserted raft the next day, Venezuelan fishermen alerted the army, which hunted down...
...hundred persons have already been killed this year by terrorists in Aden. Coinciding with Feisal's trip, Nasserite organizations paralyzed the territory by declaring its eleventh general strike of the year. In Cairo, leaders of a powerful terrorist group named FLOSY (Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen) declared themselves Aden's "government in exile"; they named a temporary capital at Taiz in Yemen, even appointed a President, 13 Cabinet ministers and two ambassadors (to the Sudan and Egypt). On Cairo radio, FLOSY President Abdul Qawee Mackawee promised Aden "a popular resistance uprising in the coming weeks...
