Mystery surrounds ransomed oilman in Argentina
American oil executive Victor Samuelson remains missing four days after a 14.2 million ransom payout to Argentine guerrillas. Exxon's officials offered no immediate statement on his release while police had no confirmation of freedom. The ERP claimed the killing of a retired naval petty officer tied to a seizure near Campana, and a ransom delivery occurred at a secret rendezvous. Government clerical restrictions limited newspaper ads sympathetic to rebel propaganda.
