Kidnaping of American Students Shrinks Gombe Research Team
About 30 Stanford students working with Dr. Jane Goodall at the Gombe reserve in Tanzania were disrupted after the abduction of four Western researchers. The captives Barbara Smuts, Kenneth Smith, Carrie Hunter, and Emilie Bergman were seized by armed gunmen believed to be from Zaire. Some students were flown to Nairobi while others headed to Dar es Salaam as Tanzanian authorities investigate and seek release.
