Nasser Purges Egyptian Army Officers
Reports from London say President Gamal Nasser ordered a wide purge in Egypt's armed forces after the Israel defeat. Over 1,000 officers were ousted, with about 700 dismissed and 360 facing court martial or investigations for desertion and dereliction of duty. The move aims to rebuild the corps, possibly with Soviet aid, and could delay a new Arab military push for years.
