Iraqi Greatly Admire President Nasser
But Do Not Desire Join Arab Republic
BAGHDAD, UR — It took a
group of Army officers just two
hours to overthrow the monarchy
and establish a republic in Iraq.
The Army dissidents appear to
have been in complete control of
the country from the start on
July 14. There may be some
hidden opposition to the new
regime, but it is not apparent to
a visitor just arrived.
This was not an uprising by the
people, but they seem pleased by
the result.
Although the officers of the
new regime and the average
Iraqi don’t like the U.S. inter
vention in Lebanon and the
British landing in Jordan, the
chief concern appears to be for
their own affairs coupled with a
desire to be accepted by the West
as the legitimate government of
this oil-rich "Middle East country.
There is great adulation of the
United Arab Republic’s Presi
dent Nasser, but there does not
seem to be any great desire to
join the U.A.R.
The revolution was a military
operation carried out like clock
work.
At 5 a.m. on July 14, one
company of infantry, supported by
a tank and several antitank guns
mounted on jeeps, surrounded
the royal palace where 23-year
old King Faisal and Crown
Prince Abdul Ilah were prepar
ing to leave for a Baghdad Pact
meeting in Istanbul.
At the same time other Army
units surrounded the home of
Prime Minister Nuri Said, long
the country’s political strong man,
and the residences of government
ministers. Centurion tanks rum
bled to strategic places through
out Baghdad. Gen. Rafiq, com
mander of the Army, was
arrested.
The Army says this is what
happened at the palace:
A captain demanded that the
king come out and surrender.
Instead the king, the crown prince
and the king’s aide de camp be
gan firing from the second floor
windows. A soldier was wounded
in the arm.
The Army then brought up an
antitank gun and began shelling
the stucco-covered brick man
sion, setting the interior afire.
The royal family fled by a
back door in an attempt to get
to a car and escape. What pre
vented them from reaching a car
is not clear, but instead they
walked up a gravel path toward
the front of the house and the
troops.
Nor is there any explanation
of. why the troops started firing,
but the family was shot down on
the lawn about 20 feet from a
front corner of the palace.
Those killed were the king,
the crown prince, the crown
prince’s mother and two sisters,
a woman servant and the king’s
aide. The crown prince’s wife
was wounded and is reported re
covering in a hospital.
The crown prince’s body was
“given to the people” and muti
lated. The other royal dead were
reported buried in unmarked
graves.
Nuri Said escaped from his
house on the Tigris River front
as it was being surrounded
from three sides. The Army be
lieves he crossed to the other side
of the river in a boat and took
refuge in the home of a friend.
A servant was paid a reward of
10,000 dinars ($28,000) for tell
ing the Army the next day Nuri
was hiding in the home of his
master. All sources report he
was dressed as a woman, with
a pistol hidden in the folds of the
garment. Some say he opened
fire and killed two persons when
he was arrested, others state he
did not try to shoot.
There was no firm figure on
the number killed in the revolu
tion. One official source said
“not more than 30,” Another
said “about 14.” All but Nuri are
reported to have died on Monday.
The dead included three Ameri
cans, a Briton and a German who
were killed by a mob after the
revolution had been won. The
Americans and the German were
taken from the leading hotel by
troops, then abandoned to the
mob.
