STUDENTS MAY WAGE HOLY WAR IN EGYPT A "holy war" was threatened this week by Moslem student lead-, er in Egypt unless British troops are evacuated from the nation. The student group said its decision was made at a special committee meeting in which it decided that immediate action was imperative because the situation was growing grow-ing more tense daily. Premier Ismail Sidky, meanwhile, mean-while, revealed that recent Cairo riots were incited by the action of British army forces which had driven four trucks through a mob of demonstrators, killing one and injuring eight. Later the demonstrators, demon-strators, he said, attacked a British Brit-ish barracks and were met with gunfire from soldiers.
