Waite Missing Two Years In Beirut Mystery
AP reports Anglican envoy Terry Waite remains missing two years after leaving a Beirut hotel to negotiate hostages release. No group claims him, Britain declines hostage talks, and no proof exists of his status. Western captives say they saw a tall man in a prison believed linked to Waite. Fifteen foreigners remain missing in Lebanon, including nine Americans. The longest held hostage is AP reporter Terry Anderson, kidnapped March 16, 1985.
