A mass secret trial of alleged spies in Iraq was reported with defendants accused of working for the US CIA. Iraqi leaders warned of Israeli attacks in Jordan as retaliation for hangings of Jews and Iraqis convicted of spying for Israel. Demonstrations near the British Embassy in Baghdad and violence outside the Iraqi embassy in London accompanied a broader Middle East crisis. The Pope condemned the executions and urged no revenge as Western leaders debated regional policy and defence moves.
