Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox civilian attack Шаблон:Campaignbox Aden Emergency The High Commissioner attack was an incident which saw the beginning of the Aden Emergency. Arab nationalists of the NLF made a grenade attack against the British High Commissioner, Sir Kennedy Trevaskis, killing one person and injuring 50.[1]

George Henderson, the assistant high commissioner, saved Sir Kennedy's life by pushing him out of the way. Henderson later died of his injuries.[2]

The incident led to Britain declaring a state of emergency in South Arabia.[3]
