Mubarak calls US action a stab in the back amid strains
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said the interception of an Egyptian jet carrying the Achille Lauro hijackers was a betrayal by the United States. In interviews on 60 Minutes and Time, he warned relations with Washington would improve only slowly and urged mutual compromise. He noted Tunis informed Washington of plans to fly the hijackers to Tunis and said the U.S. forced the plane to land in Sicily. The Reuters report also notes Jordan arms sale talks moving toward a compromise amid opposition. Lugar urged approval with conditions attached.
