Iraq Strife Due To Kassem Says Nasser DAMASCUS, Syria (EP)—President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic wooed Iraq's people yesterday and denounced their premier as a man trying to spread a Communist reign of terror across the Arab world. Nasser renewed his attack on Premier Abdel Karim Kassem in a biting discussion of the Mosul rebellion before flag waving student demonstrators at the presidential palace in Damas cus. He denied Baghdad charges that his United Arab Republic. which links Egypt and Syria. inspired Col. Abdel Wahab Shawaf's nationalist revolt last weekend against the leftist-in clined Kassem regime. Instead, he said, the revolt sprang from opposition of Iraq's people to a "reign of Commun ist terror and persecution of free officers and Arab nationalists in Iraq." "Kassem was trying to drive a wedge between the Ircqi peo ple and the U.A.R.," he said, "assuming that by this policy he would divide the Arabs to strengthen communism in the Arab world and bring, it under Communist terror, as in Iraq." He accused Kassem of open ing Baghdad to Syrian Commun ists fleeing the recent anti-Red campaign within the U.A.R.
