Stewart Harris writing from Cairo said in the June 19th Times: "The Egyptian authorities have taken foreign journalists to. two military hospitals in Cairo, showing.them men said to have been injured by napalm and at least one man who said he had been tortured by Israel troops. The first hospital was at Helmia, the second, where I went, was at Al Maadi. Not everything was made clear, because of the Langaidee problem, and it was impossible to verify statements. However, I believe that the men were bumed by napalm and I believe that some.Arabs, in addition to those who had” to suffer the: Sinai desert, must have been ill-treated, perhaps tortured, by some Israelis. We saw burned men from Sinai, brought back in Red Cross aircraft, and one. man from the Ismailia area. Then we saw 22-year-old Corporal Souilem Abdel Rasoul Gadall, who had been in a tank near Rafah, in the Gaza Strip. He had lost his left arm and been hit by nine bullets."
