Lebanon University strike demands tough line and mobilization
About 15,000 Lebanese university students staged a joint strike calling for compulsory military training and a war footing, vowing no classes until those behind the Beirut Airport raid are punished. They urged punishment for attackers, freeing detained Arab commandos, and arming frontier villages. Jordan hanged two spies for Israel, while fighting near the Damya Bridge. U.N. peace efforts and Rusk warned of catastrophic consequences if violence continues.
