Elite unit in Potsdam faced deadly East German patrol
The 14 member U S Military Liaison Mission in Potsdam traced its roots to 1947 under a Cold War accord allowing Western observers in East Germany. The unit risked danger as they gathered intelligence with little rule enforcing, a risky job described as hair raising by veterans. Nicholson was killed by a Soviet guard while on duty amid tense East German patrols.

Westerners quit risky areas as Lebanon abductions mount
BeIrut reports say many Westerners evacuated Moslem areas as kidnappings surged. Atec Collett of UN relief and work, 63, was abducted in Beirut, following Gilles Peyrolles, 32, director of the French Institute in Tripoli. Collett was seized near the southern suburbs after a mission in south Lebanon. Peyrolles remains missing and no group claims him. The shadowy Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions claim Peyrolles, while Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for several French and other nationals abducted earlier. The crisis coincides with inflation protests and a weakened Lebanese pound.
