USSR-E t-Lib as The USSR for the first time publicly
acknov edged ncreased tension between Libya and Egypt.
In a broadcast on Tuesday, the Soviets replayed Libyan
denials of complicity in the hijacking of an Egyptian
aircraft earlier this week. The broadcast charged that
Israel and its backers were seeking to use such incidents
to divide the Arab world. The broadcast commented
positively about alleged efforts to improve relations
between Libya and Egypt and reproached Cairo for not
doing more in this regard. This reproach, by Soviet
standards, is mild given the USSR's poor state of
relations with Egypt and its relatively better relations
with Libya. Egypt late last night accused Libya of
kidnaping on Tuesday two Egyptian security men from an
Egyptian-chartered airliner at, Tripoli airport.
According to an Egyptian statement the plane was
chartered from a U.S. company and carried an American
crew. Egypt called the incident an "act of air piracy"
and warned it would take appropriate :but unspecified
countermeasures.
Soviet Naval Air Force TU-95 Standdown Ends: The Soviet
naval air force TU-95 stars down in effect since August 5
was terminated on August 24. This standdown was about
one week shorter than those of 27 and 26 days imposed
following Soviet naval TU-95 crashes in July 1967 and May
1971, respectively.
