(Received January 25, 12.15 p.m.) ■ LONDON, January 24. The Cairo correspondent of "Th« '
Times" says that the former Prime Minister,. Nahas Pasha, has petitioned the Procureur-General, alleging ; that the attempt on his life in .November was connected with an agreement by. the Green Shirts to engineer !a revolution to overthrow his Government. Ha alleges that the present Premier; Mohammed Mahmoud Pasha, was implicated.
Four shots were fixed at Nahas Pasha on November 29 when as Prime Minister he drove through Heliopolis to attend a political meeting. Policemen leaped from an escorting car and arrested and captured an Egyptian, Izzedine Abdel Khader, aged 22, who had two revolvers in his possession. He was clad in the uniform of the Green Shirt organisation, the Young Egyptians, which was hostile to the .Prime Minister and the Anglo-Egyptian treaty. All the Green Shirt leaders and others in the organisation," numbering more than 300, were arrested but they maintained that Khader had been expelled from the party for irregular conduct. On December 30 King Farouk dismissed Nahas Pasha's Cabinet and Mahmoud succeeded a* Prime Minister.
