SUMMARY
of 15/April 88
USMC LTC Higgins will be released from captivity on or about the
20/22 April 1988.
The negotiator (previously mentioned in the
Washington Post) by the name of Rukers (from Kuwait?) will be
largely responsible for the pursuit of negotiations that will
lead to the release of LTC Higgins.
"Papers" are/were submitted
(todreres)
to obtain "agreements" that will facilitate this release.
The highjacking of the 747 Kuwaiti Airline
jet transport will not
unfavorably affect the release of LTC Higgins.
That episode,
the
highjacking of the 747, will end
within about six days.
The
aircraft will
not leave Algiers, Algeria, for any other location.
It will remain at its current location where the highjacking
issue will be resolved.
There will be no further loss of life.
Khomeini did not like the idea of having the highjakced Kuwaiti
Airline on Iranian soil.
It did not fit into his game plan; he
neither wanted nor desired that kind of publicity at this time.
Khomeini is in sort of "hiding", he is removed from public
attention.
Activities that will lead to a "shift of power" to a
ongoing.
The resultant shift
dual
seated form of government
of power will
allow for a more westernized and liberal form of
government in
Iran.
Iran's war with Iraq will continue despite
an evident
favorable change in power.
There is no evidence
for.
mutual basis
for the discontinuance of
this conflict until
about
December 1988 or January 1989.
