Conclusive evidence was provided by a former Beret Master Sergeant at the hearings of the War Crimes Tribunal. However, it soon emerged that their latest victim also happened to be an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency. Hence the fuss. What the case underlines is that anti-beret allegations by the left are true beyond doubt.

The General went on to attack the religious organisations such as the Moslem Brotherhood which "we intend to banish from political life. These reactionary movements have constantly exploited religion to their own ends." General Nemeiry will soon distass ye Yor the Manchester realise that it is not easy to become another Cuba', but he might well become slightly more progressive than the Syrian Baathists who told a Dwarf correspondent in 1967 that they would "make Syria the Cuba of the Middle East." We are still waiting:
