Libya broke diplomatic relations with Egypt and called
for the summit conference last week following Sadat's
Nov. 19-21 visit to Israel and his proposal for pre-Geneva
peace talks in Cairo in mid-December.
Al Ahram said Egypt recalled its ambassador to the
Soviet Union because "it was very clear that the leaders
now gathering in Tripoli are implementing a policy laid
down for them by Moscow."
Visit cancelled
Washington-King Hassan II of Morocco has cancelled
plans to visit Washington next week "because of recent
developments in the Middle East," the White House
announced.
President Carter met for one hour Saturday with
Moroccan Prime Minister Ahmed Osman, who made a
special trip to Washington to inform the administration
of the cancellation.
Hassan had been scheduled to visit Washington on
Wednesday and Thursday.
Morocco has been one of the few Arab nations to
support the efforts of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat
to meet with Israeli leaders in Jerusalem and Cairo. How
ever, there have been no plans announced for Morocco to
take part in the Cairo conference Sadat has called for mid
December. Bermuda riots
