Mystery Envelops Terry Waite Story
Beir ut Lebanon AP two taxi drivers say they saw 10 gunmen and four turbaned Shiite sheiks escorting Anglican envoy Terry Waite through a southern Beirut suburb as the missing hostage negotiator waved at onlookers. Waite wore a gray raincoat and walked near Beirut airport highway about 3 p.m. Thursday. He last appeared Jan 20 leaving the Riviera Hotel to meet with Islamic Jihad members who hold Americans Terry Anderson and Thomas Sutherland since 1985. Witnesses recalled Waite strolling beaches and motorcades before his disappearance. Officials denied reports of his shooting in Beirut and of a U.S. Marines landing. A flotilla of U.S. warships neared Lebanon, and the carrier USS Kennedy would begin a port call in Israel.
