Most likely spot: the Kontum-Pleiku region in the western highlands, where the Ho Chi Minh trail feeds men and supplies from Laos into South Viet Nam. The Communists have been notably quiet there since the bloody battles in the la Drang valley last month. Intelligence experts say they detect signs that the North Vietnamese regulars are busily regrouping, perhaps preparing for an unprecedented division-sized assault...

...from Hussein. By this year all was ready, and the plot was scheduled for the end of July during the regime's 13th anniversary celebrations. It seemed thorough in every detail. Hussein Tawfic, a veteran terrorist who had successfully rubbed out one of King Farouk's finance ministers, was put in command of a select group assigned to blow up Nasser in his motorcade.
