Miracle Plucked Marine From Tehran Embassy Takeover
Marine Sgt Kenneth Kraus says a miracle saved him from execution after the February 14 1979 Tehran embassy takeover. He and about 100 embassy staff were held two hours by militants before diplomatic talks freed him on February 21. Kraus later filed a $60 million lawsuit against Iran alleging rights violations and described beatings a gun at his mouth and an improvised trial by SAVAK before release.
