The World : Assassins Fail in S. Yemen
- Share via
South Yemen’s leader, Ali Nasser Hasani, survived an assassination attempt, and leaders of the failed coup were executed, state-run Aden radio reported. The report said that the plotters against Hasani, 49, included Abdul Fattah Ismail, a former chief of the Marxist-ruled state, and Ali Ahmed Nasser Antar, first deputy prime minister and a close associate of Hasani. Both were summarily executed, the broadcast said, as were two other officials. Several of their accomplices were arrested and held for trial, the radio added. South Yemen is considered strategic because it controls the southern entrance to the Red Sea.
