‘PLOT BY C.I.A.'
Sudanese Claim
(N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) KHARTOUM, August 13.
The Sudanese Government said today it was “the target of a plot by the American Central Intelligence Agency to overthrow the present regime and split the country from its Arab friends," United Press International reported. The charges came after a long report about the alleged C.LA. plot was carried today in “Al Ahram,” the influential Cairo newspaper. Abdel Majid Abu Hassabo, the Sudan Information Minister, claimed the C.I.A. wanted to topple the present Government and set up a proAmerican administration. Sudan, in the wake of the Arab defeat by Israel, recently announced a sweeping programme to finance a build-up in its military forces and has swung to greater economic ties with the Communist bloc. United Press International reported.
