As we noted in United States v. Bullock, 451 F.2d 884 , 888 (5th Cir.1971), 18 U.S.C. § 2 is an alternative charge in every count, whether explicit or implicit, ‘and the rule is well-established, both in this circuit and others, that one who has been indicted as a principal may be convicted on evidence showing that he merely aided and abetted the commission of the offense.’ ””
