SUMMARY OF INFORMATION
There are thirteen hostages, mostly foreign (non-US) nationals
being held in the barracks surrounded by the Syrian troops in the
southern portion of Beirut.
Rudolf Cordes, the German national
hostage will be one of the first to be released in the near term.
The impression (however incongruous)
persists that Frank Herbert
School) will
be
Reed
(Director of the Lebanese
International
Cordes.
The
released at the same time and in the company of
captors have a pronounced reluctance to release any US hostages.
In an area known as "Ash Shuwayfat" reportedly located southwest
of the military barracks surrounded by the Syrian troops are the
US hostages, Joseph Cicippio and Alann Steen (who have been very
Ser Enclosure3
difficult to access previously) .
The captors will attempt
to
move some of the US hostages under the cover of darkness.
Cicippio and Steen are hidden under "deep cover."
Neither Terry
Waite nor Terri Anderson will be found in the barracks.
They are
at another location.
It goes without saying that USMC LTC
Higgins is not there either; in fact, Higgins has not been with
any of the other hostages from the time he was taken captive.

Approved For Release 2003/09/04 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003400620001-6
released with the second group of hostages.
USMC LTC Higgins
will be released from captivity sometime soon after the release
of Cordes.
At this time Higgins is located at a site known as
"As Sarafand".
He arrived there via Mazra an Nabi
Casim and Al
Khara ib.
He is moved intermittently and sporadically between As
Sarafand and the area bounded by Reservoir 1006, a site known as
Anan, and a second unnamed reservoir located about 1
kilometer
northwest of Reservoir 1006.
See attached copy of partial
map
with highlighted areas at ENCLOSURE
2.
Higgins release is
assured by the pocket of pressure exercised by the Israelis from
the south and by the (Syrian?) activity to the north.
This facet
(anticipated release)
of the the hostage situation will take
place in the very near future (late June and early July) .
