SUMMARY
PRJ 8088
SCE 079
05
17 MAR 88
The infiltration route taken by the captors is identified
and described on
SG1C
SG1C
The captors followed a route that
travelled inward and upward
skirting the mountain sides.
As a
cover, the captors dressed like and used subterfuges associated
with the garbage collection; indeed, the captors dressed as
1 .
garbage collectors.
Both, automobiles and trucks were used to
move him.
The use of trucks was a
"secondary" methodology used
mainly in a supporting role.
LTC Higgins is currently located on
the outskirts and south of Beirut, closed to "the waters of
Beirut" where the glow of city lights can readily be perceived at
night.
Safe-havens (safehouses)
and reliable routes of
infiltration are now being used.
The structure LTC Higgins is
currently located in shaped like the letter "E".
(The customers,
ie the "Counterintelligence people" are knowledgeable of this
building, according to source) .
The major part of the ordeal
over for LTC Higgins as well as for the Shiites and the captors
who feel the mission is nearly accomplished. Higgins is now in
better physical condition and he is rested.
Shiites feel more
is
relieved that he is closer to Beirut; one group in Beirut
benefits from an efficient system of communication with the other
group (the captors). A man by the name of Rutherford (believed

Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003400820001-4
to be an American and previously identifiable with the name
Rutledge) is/will be heavily and intensely involved in the
negotiations that will result in the release of LTC Higgins
during time frame of about 6 to 22 April
1988.
(The dates of 6
April
1988 and 22 April
1988 previously surfaced as projected
time windows for Higgins release) .
In early april Higgins will
be located in a location (town) known as "BLAZDAH 'where he is
being kept in
small low square structure that resembles a run-
down farmhouse.
In early April 1988, intense
(national /international> press coverage will resume on Higgins
(and a transition of power in Iran that will
further precipitate
negotiations regarding Higgins) .
The Shiites will not trust
Aither of the two emerging (Iranian?) leaders.
The following
saying, "The truth will
exceed the winter" is a motto that should
be translated in Shiite terms (language); it is found on a badge
as a motto and will identify a specific group of Shiites.
Items 9 and 10, Tape 1. identifies a tall white structure that
served as a point of departure (and a holding area) for Higgins.
That location should be remembered (for future use) .
REFERENCE TERRY WAITE
Terry Waite's date of release remains August 1988.
Terri
Waite is aware of the identity of his captors.
One is readily
identifiable as a short individual
who walks with
a noticeable
limp, has black hair, and whose hand is noticeably crippled.
Waite continues to negotiate from within, and, he has (or will
find) a weakness, a lever, based on a lie that will allow him to

-
negotiate for his release as well
as the release of the other
hostages.
When hostages have been caught in lies (as perceived
by the captors), they have been severely beaten.
The lie that
will be used by Terry Waite must be supported/confirmed by the
power involved in the negotiations.
Waite and the other hostages
wear loose fitting, cotton, clothes; their original garments were
burned .
The hostages do not feel that they will now be killed.
Terri Anderson is the "most hated" of the hostages; he is
currently in poor physical condition and suffers from internal
ailments.
These hostages have been
(and continue) to be bound,
gagged, and intermittently beaten.
(They are still projected to
be freed in August 1988 - with Terri Anderson to be freed last in
late August 1988. )
OPS COMMENTS:
There are certain incongruities observed during
the receipt and interpretation of the data.
Higgins is reported
as
being in the southern
portion of Beirut next to the water.
In an other instance, Higgins was indicated
as being located 35
miles south of Beirut.
The value of this session is that it can
very well prompt the customers in targeting requirements against
specific EEI of interest.
