BEHRIN (SWAT): Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto said here this afternoon [July 11] that the Opposition was trying to create problems for the Government with a view to diverting its attention from development activities. Addressing a public meeting in Behrin … the Prime Minister said that the Ahmadi problem was being discussed by the National Assembly and his endeavour would find its correct solution. … [He] urged the people to identify the enemies of Pakistan. … The Prime Minister, who dwelt at length on the attitude of the Afghan rulers towards Pakistan, said they should not “exceed the limits”.

[Meanwhile, as reported by news agencies from the UN,] Lebanon told the Security Cou­ncil yesterday [July 10] that Israeli attacks earlier this week against Lebanese port cities demonstrated that Israel no longer cared even to justify its aggression. Mr. Yahya Mahmas­sani, acting chief of the Lebanese delegation, said … “the Security Council, particularly the permanent members, and the world community cannot remain indifferent spectators when the Israeli forces carry out their policy of terror, murder and blackmail against a member State of the United Nations”.
