A CERTAIN ELEMENT OF DANGER ATTENDS THEIR MISSION, THE HOUSE OF COMMONS WAS REMINDED YESTERDAY. THE COLONIAL SECRETARY MR GREENWOOD SAID THE SECURITY SITUATION IN ADEN CONTINUED TO GIVE CAUSE FOR ALARM.

MUHAMMED ABU RANNAT IS A MEMBERS OF THE UN SUB-COMMISSION ON PREVENTION OF DISCRIMINATION AND PROTECTION OF MINORITIES.
