Because of Yemen, the Middle East last week resounded with the crash of terrorist bombs, the blows of murder and the rising wails of Arab leaders, who seemed to have completely abandoned their once-vaunted drive for unity. After a period of lull, the Yemen war has heated up again, but this time the bloodiest fighting is not between royalist and republican; it is among the republicans themselves, who control the southern third of the country (including the capital of San'a) with the help of Nasser's 47,000-man occupation army. Pro-republican tribesmen, who were...
...ever got involved there, but he argues in this slender book, drawn chiefly from three recent magazine articles, that "our precipitate withdrawal now would have ominous reverberations throughout Asia." He thinks the U.S. must "stop widening and Americanizing the war," but he has no illusions about the cutthroat, terrorist tactics of the Viet Cong, and he does not want them to take over South Viet Nam.

The Heroes of the Repatriation, a smaller terrorist group, complained that when some of their men voluntarily surrendered to Hussein's Arab Legion after returning from a raid on Israel they were "clapped in jail and cruelly tortured." In announcing his decision last week to take the Palestine Liberation Organization underground, Chairman Ahmed Shukairy declared that for the moment "the primary struggle is against the tyrant of Amman, Hussein, who has betrayed God, the Prophet, and the Palestine cause." The Israelis, however...
...Arab kingdoms of Saudi Arabia's King Feisal and Jordan's Hussein. It also reflects a jockeying for power among rival Arab groups in such places as South Arabia, which will soon get its independence from Britain. The violence is being fueled by a sudden proliferation of terrorist organizations that seem as ready to fire on rivals as on the hated Jews. There are now no fewer than eleven separate Arab terrorist organizations, including the 550-man Asifa (Storm Troopers) operating out of Syria, the 8,000-man Palestine Liberation Organization, and antiroyalist groups in Saudi Arabia...
