Egypt will launch a satellite in December to mark the anniversary of the date when the Franco-English forces withdraw their forces which had attacked Egypt in the Suez sector in 1956, according to claims in a Cairo report received here today. Another dispatch from Cairo, quoting the newspaper “Akher Saa,” claimed that the multistage rocket displayed by Egypt last month, during the Cairo parade celebrating “Revolution Day,” has a range of 625 miles “and could strike any point in Israel.”
