Thomas Sutherland is currently located at Al Babiyah.
See
ENCLOSURE 3.
Terry Anderson is currently located at Libbaya.
See
ENCLOSURE 4.
Jesse Turner and Robert Pohill could not be located during
this session.
During this session, it was reported that Terry Waite will
come out alive based on his own lie.
Negotiators should be able
to realize this and back him up.
The next two weeks will be extremely tense however there
will be a break in the crises situation after August 16th.
At
this time, an exchange of hostages is highly possible and Tunisia
and Algiers will prove very beneficial at the negotiating tables.
As for the Obeid, it is most likely that he is telling the
truth to the Israeli's.
This is based on the fact that he afraid
for his own life and he is not. a strong individual. He was
described as a "softie" and now that he himself is a hostage he
can't take the pressure.
He was described as a "planner" in the
kidnapping of LTC Higgins however once Higgins was captured,
there was little involvement with him.
