Kidnapers promise to call family over Dutch industrialist
In Dublin the family of kidnapped Dutch industrialist Tiede Herrema awaited a call from captors seeking a new deal for release. Embassy sources said a kidnapper spoke to his son Jeske at the embassy and used a family nickname known only to the victim. The abductors had demanded the release of three Irish Republican Army prisoners by Sunday or Herrema would be executed, a deadline the government did not meet. The caller allegedly said the issue was not about money and promised another call today.
