Reluctant Plea. Nasser disavows any intention of sending troops into Aden when the British grant that colony independence next year. But the terrorist organizations that he supports have made it all but 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...
...diplomats been installed in Aden's Sea View Hotel-behind rolls of barbed wire and a 100-man police guard-than the fighting broke out. It started in the always-explosive Crater District, where hard-bitten veterans of the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers shot it out with terrorists in a running gunfight from rooftop to rooftop.

...came to the U.S. to tell Lyndon Johnson about the problems of Ethiopia, a Christian country flanked by Moslems. The Somali Republic, a new (1960) Moslem nation on his eastern border, has laid claim to much of his land, and has backed up the claim with Russian arms and terrorist raids. One of Haile Selassie's principal aims in Washington was to ask President Johnson for more U.S. military aid to protect his borders. The Emperor, however, has not survived for 50 years by leaving his bets unhedged. From the U.S., he flew to Majorca...
