United States and Britain ship arms to Tunisia
The United States and Britain ordered a token shipment of small arms to Tunisia, despite strong French objections. The U S sent 500 semi automatic M 1 rifles and 50 000 rounds, Britain 350 Sterling submachine guns and 70 Bren guns with ammunition. The move aims to deter Tunisia from seeking Soviet arms as Egypt reportedly has a shipload ready.
