MORE ADEN RAIDING

(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) ADEN, May 5. Unknown gunmen last night shot and wounded two more Arabs and a group of armed men raided and exploded a grenade inside a hotel in Aden’s Grater town.

The injured Arabs were the owner and manager of a cinema, scene of the shooting.

In the second incident six armed men raided the hotel, forced six workers out at gunpoint and exploded a second grenade inside when a first one did not explode. There were no casualties but some property was damaged. Ahmed Ismail Turkey, brother of the hotel’s owner, Sheik Ali Turkey, was shot and wounded by an unknown gunman outside the hotel 10 days ago. The Egyptian-backed Front for Liberation of the Occupied South Yemen (F.L.O.-

S.Y.), in a recent broadcast from neighbouring Taiz Radio, alleged that the hotel was being used for training people in the use of grenades and firearms. It also accused Sheikh Ali

Turkey, who flew to London a few months ago for medical treatment, of being a member of an alleged gang of killers and kidnappers of nationalists in Aden. The shooting was con-

demned by Ahmed bin Abdullah Al Fadhli, formerly of F.L.O.S.Y. and now a leader of the Front for Liberation of South Arabia (F.L.S.A.). He is a son-in-law of Sheikh Ali Turkey.
