Japanese Cause Syrians Concern
In Damascus the government sought to shield the Palestinian cause from the Japanese Red Army siege at the Dutch embassy. Three gunmen who invaded the Hague embassy and a fourth freed from a French jail would remain with the PLO, then were handed to Syrian authorities. The Japanese arrived in Damascus after an 18 hour flight, surrendered with $300,000 in ransom and weapons. Volunteers flew the crew and aircraft back to The Hague, money withheld. The three hostages included the ambassador, eight staffers, and two embassy workers.
