Iran pressures captors to spare Cicippio's life
Iran reportedly pressed pro Iranian militants to delay harm to Joseph Cicippio, an American held in Lebanon since 1986. Shiite sources say pressure from Tehran sought to avert a crisis after Col. Higgins's execution. The Revolutionary Justice Organization extended its deadline, while Iran, France, and West Germany urged safe release and possible prisoner swaps. U.S. officials and Pope John Paul II sought restraint and influence over captors.
