Argentine Air Chief Is Fired Amid Coup Tensions
In Buenos Aires on September 24, Gen Angel M. Zuloaga, head of the Argentine air force, was reportedly relieved of command amid a dispute between acting President Ramon Castillo and the chamber over responsibility for a failed army aviation uprising. Zuloaga reportedly asked to resign, saying he could not rely on army support. The government grounded all military planes until Saturday as a precaution. Separately, radical party members controlling the chamber rejected a $110 million loan from the United States, prompting a walkout by conservative national democrats.
