Beirut Evacuation Delayed Amid Civil War Shelling
Beir utin authorities delay a convoy evacuating hundreds of foreigners including about 140 Americans from Beirut to Damascus due to ongoing fighting along the route. The PLO warned the British Embassy it could not assure safety for the six hour motorcade as heavy shelling continues near Sidon and in Beirut. The death of Ambassador Francis Meloy Jr and other officials spurred President Ford to order evacuation of remaining Americans. A US Navy task force with 1800 Marines stands by off Lebanon as clashes persist across Christian and Moslem sectors, Sidon, and mountains east of Beirut.
