Secrecy over U S arms sale to Yugoslavia shocks readers
The United States sold about 130 Saberjet fighters to Communist Yugoslavia and trains Yugoslav pilots at Perrin AFB Texas. Officials confirm the deal, begun in the Eisenhower era and continued under Kennedy, citing aid to "independent" nations. Critics call Tito a Communist dictator and warn such arms could threaten American soldiers. The secrecy, they say, reflects a grave error by both administrations.
