Jackson Hopes to Free U.N. Hostages in West Africa
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson plans a Tuesday trip to West Africa to press for the release of 500 U.N. peacekeepers held by rebels amid the fighting between President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah's government and the Revolutionary United Front. He aims to speak face to face with leaders and use a moral appeal to end the bloodshed. Jackson says telephone coordination has prepared crucial support to end the conflict.
