From there, they were to be taken by bus to the southern Turkish city of Diyarbakir and flown out of
Turkey sometime today, she said.
She said the 55 were all dependents of U.S. personnel who had been stationed in the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. "an additional 54 or 55 personnel, mostly men, who had never been stationed in Kuwait, and we have not secured their release," Heileman said.
Earlier this week, Iraq gave a Friday deadline for nations to close their embassies in Kuwait, claiming its oil rich neighbor as part of Iraq territory. Iraq annexed Kuwait six days after its Aug. 2 invasion of the emirate.
But the United States, most European nations and many other countries have refused to close their embassies in Kuwait City, instead reducing personnel there to a minimum.
The U.S. Embassy sent about 100 diplomats and their dependents to Baghdad, where they were stranded when
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein reversed an earlier promise and refused to let them leave.
But Saturday, Iraq's U.S. ambassador said in Washington that the wives and children of the American president have been detained.
"The dependents are going to be released," said Mohamed al-Mashat, summoned to the State Department.
"Some of them will be leaving soon." However, he said the diplomats would be treated "just like anybody else," meaning they will be detained. He said that although Iraq and the United States "are on the brink of a catastrophe," Baghdad was not going to use force against the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait
In all, about 21,000 foreigners have been caught in Iraq and Kuwait, including
Kansas City Chiefs Eagerly Awaiting 1990 Campaign
By Kelly Donohoe
Every new season brings high expectations for the Kansas City Chiefs. This year's Chiefs bring not only high expectations after last season's 8-7-1 record, but also a lot of excitement. In 1989 Kansas City had the NFL take notice as they finished with only their third winning season in 16 years. With the likes of All-Pro running back Christian Okoye and Rookie of the year Derrick Thomas at linebacker, the Chiefs will bring a lot of confidence into the '90 season.
Bird's eye view of the home of the Kansas City Chiefs - Arrowhead Stadium.
The man most responsible for this turnaround is Carl Peterson, the Chiefs' president and general manager. The first thing Peterson did when he arrived in Kansas City was hire a top-notch head coach, Marty Schottenheimer, fresh from a head coaching stint at Cleveland where he led the Browns to four consecutive playoff appearances from 1985-1988 Within one year, Schottenheimer took a Chiefs team which had finished 4-12 a year earlier and transformed them into winners, posting an 8-7-1 record for 1989. With the winning attitude Peterson and Schottenheimer have brought to Kansas City the Chiefs have been touted the "team of the 90s."
record with 1,480 yards in 1989, the Chiefs will again start Steve Deberg at quarterback. Deberg, a 14 year veteran, finished up the 1989 season in a very positive fashion by posting a 4-1-1 record in the final 6 games.
Offensively, the Chiefs have enough talent to do a lot of damage to NFL defenses. Along with Christian Okoye, who set a new club rushing
On the other end of Deberg's passes will be stand-out wide receiver Stephen Paige, who will lead a young crew of receivers into the 1950 season.
Led by their stellar rookie linebacker Derrick Thomas, Kansas City displayed a new style of aggressive, tough-nosed play that has symbolized Schottenheimer's defense over the years.
Setting the tempo for the defense is a secondary that was the number one ranked pass defense in the N.FL last fall. With all starters returning this season the chief's secondary should again dominate the league in pass defense.
Besides a great secondary, the Chiefs possess a young linebacking corps anchored by Thomas and Dino Hackett that brings a fierce aggressiveness to the Chiefs' defense. Thomas and Hackett will be joined this fall at their linebacking position with Percy Snow. Snow was the Chiefs' first round draft pick in the spring and is considered by many to be the best linebacker coming out of college football.. With Bill Mass
returning after siting out the last six games of '89 with a broken left forearm, the Chiefs will be even stronger on the defensive line in 1990.
Peterson and Schottenheimer have brought to Kansas City a commitment to excellence with a burning desire to win. The 1990 season promises to be a good one with playoff hopes well within reach. Don't miss out on the action!
Ticket prices range from $15 to $25 dollars a game and can be purchased at Liberty Hall, 644 Massachusetts, or call the Chiefs' season ticket hotline at 1-816-924-9400.
