But In Israel, the afternoon newspaper Maarlv commented: An Extreme Radical "The only thing the West and we must know Is that the new strong man In Egypt will display more extreme radicalism than his predecessor." There was no comment from any source on the reported Syrian uprising. The absence of news dispatches could be accounted for by Syrian government censorship. An Aleppo broadcast heard In Baghdad, Iraq, described Col. Hammond as military commander of the Syrian Army garrison in Aleppo.
