DAILY BRIEF
14 JULY,1966
1. North Vietnam
2. Somalia-Kenya
Jean Sainteny, who arrived back in
Paris yesterday, has told French offi-
cials that he has the impression that
US prisoners in North Vietnam will be
tried, but he has no idea when this
might take place. Sainteny also got
the impression from the Hanoi leaders
that although the prisoners would be
sentenced, the sentencing would not be
carried out.
The president of the international
Red Cross says that the North Vietnamese
ambassador to Moscow treated him to a
long and well-prepared spiel on this sub-
ject in mid-June. The ambassador said
that trials conducted by military tri-
bunals could be expected soon.
Somali guerrilla activity in north-
eastern Kenya, already a problem for the
Kenya authorities, is apparently destined
to increase soon.
the Somali National Army has recently
finished training and equipping more than
1,200 guerrillas who are now taking the
field. More will receive training.
This problem, and the similar situ-
ation on the Ethiopian frontier with So-
malia, has a long and bloody history.
Essentially, what the Soviet-assisted
Somali Government wants to do is absorb
the Somali-inhabited territories beyond
its present borders.
Kenya's reaction to the Somalis' in-
creasing aggressiveness of late has been
bellicose. Kenyan forces operating in
the frontier area have apparently been
told not to stop at the border if engaged
in "hot pursuit." (Map)

3. Mali
4. Israel-Syria
The Soviets are evidently follow-
ing through on their arms deal with the
Malians, under which a large shipment of
heavy military equipment was recently de-
livered.
There is still no sensible explana-
tion for Mali's acquiring these arms.
They could be used to impress the citi-
zenry on ceremonial occasions, and their
presence will not elude the notice of
Ghana.
There is no indication that the
Syrians are preparing a serious mili-
tary response to the Israeli air raid
today. The Israeli raid was in retalia-
tion for recent sabotage and mine inci-
dents near the Syrian border, which the
Israelis blamed on Syrian-supported ter-
rorists.
The Syrians may harass Israeli
border patrols, but probably willnot
risk anything more ambitious.
