Negotiator hopeful for hostages' release
United Press International
LONDON — Church of England troubleshooter Terry Waite briefed U.S. officials teryday on his efforts to free American hostages from their Muslim captors in Lebanon and headed back to Beirut to pursue his mercy mission.
"I am going back to Beirut because I believe there is still hope." Waite told reporters outside Lambeth palace after reporting to Archbishop of Canterbury Robert Runicle.
"And that is the message I think I could give to the families of the hostages at this stage. While we're talking, 'I'll keep the momentum going,' said Waite, who returned to London Sunday after a five-day mission to Beirut.
A spokesman for Runcie announced that Waite, who said he had built up "a measure of trust" with the hostages' captors, left London's Heathrow airport at 8:40 p.m. for Paris and was expected to board a flight for Beirut this morning.
Yesterday, Waite held secret talks with U.S. officials on his mission. A
BEIRUT, Lebanon — A statement signed by Islamic Jihad said yesterday that one of four French hostages the terrorist group is holding is "pitifully sick" and warned the French government against stalling negotiations for release of the captives.
One French hostage sick, terrorists say
United Press International
The statement delivered to Western news agencies in Beirut was the first indication the French government was holding behind-the-scene contacts with Islamic Jihad, a Moslem fundamentalist group believed to be holding captive a number of Westerners in Beirut.
"It is important for us to explain to public opinion and the French government that one of the French hostages is in a pitifully sick condition that may expose his life to danger in spite of our great and thorough interest in the health of all the hostages and their safety." the Islamic Jihad statement said.
The handwritten statement did not say which of the hostages was ailing but warned that the French government would be to blame if anything happened to the captive.
"We warn the French government against the consequences of stalling in the current negotiations and hold it fully responsible for what may happen to the hostage as a result of the delay," the statement said.
The four French hostages are French Embassy Vice Consul Marcel Fontaine and French Embassy attache Marcel Carton, both kidnapped March 22; journalist Jean-Paul Kaufmann; and Michel Seurat, a researcher in Middle East studies kidnapped May 22.
The pro-Iranian Islamic Jihad, which also claims to have the American hostages, is demanding that the United States pressure Kuwait to release 17 comrades jailed in Kuwait for a string of bombings in December 1983 and the French government to stop its support of Iraq against Iran in the 5-year-old Persian Gulf War.
U. S. Embassy spokesman confirmed the meeting but would not disclose where they were held and refused to say who Waite talked to or whether he was given any sort of American

proposal or reaction to the kidnappers' demands.
The shadowy Muslim extremist Islamic Jihad movement says it has at least four of six Americans missing in Beirut.
"We're not prepared to make concessions to terrorists. However, we would welcome communication with them and look forward to whatever Mr. Waite has to report," McFarlane said.
Waite launched his mission after four of the six American hostages wrote to Runcie asking him to intercede.
The signature; on the letter were those of Rev. Martin Lawrence Jenco, a Catholic priest; Terry Anderson, Middle East correspondent for The Associated Press; hospital administrator David Jacobsen and university Dean Thomas Sutherland.
Two other Americans, four Frenchmen, a Briton and an Italian who were kidnapped in a spate of abductions of foreigners that started in March 1984 are still missing.
Waite has on previous missions helped secure the release of Britons held in Iran and Libya, and American hostage the Rev. Benjamin Weir from Beirut in September.

MIAMI — Hurricane Kate, a 100-mph late-season odor, barreled westward between the Bahamas and Cuba yesterday. Forcasters issued a hurricane warning for southern Florida and urged Florida Keys residents to evacuate.

Dr. Neil Frank, the director of the National Hurricane Center, said late reports from an Air Force plane indicated Kate might take a more northerly path, and for that reason he ordered hurricane warnings for southern Florida.

Forecaster Noel Risenychok said Kate's threat to Florida was unusual at this time of the year.
"We've never had one hit the U.S. mainland this late in the season, but that doesn't mean this one won't." Rismychok said.

BOGOTA, Colombia — Soldiers patrolled the town of Armero with orders to shoot lotterors who roamed the sea of mud, stepping on the injured in his haste to rob the dead, officials said yesterday.

Five more survivors were found, including a 7-year-old boy, according to rescue workers interviewed by the Colombian radio chain RCN.

Italian court finds Palestinians guilty
United Press International
GENOA, Italy — A court yesterday returned a guilty verdict and sentenced five Palestinians to prison terms of four to nine years on weapons charges that stem from the October hijacking of the Achille Lauro luxury liner.
The terms, totaling 34 years and 10 months, were less than those requested by state prosecutor Luigi Carli. Carli had urged sentences totaling 37 years and six months for the hijackers of the Italian cruise ship.
The criminal court also ordered the defendants to pay $4,124 in fines after it found all guilty of the charges.
Carli recommended less than the maximum 12-year sentence, remarking that even though Palestinian "fight with terrorist methods," their cause "cannot be considered devoid of valid motives."
One passenger, American Leon Klinghoffer, was killed during the hijacking and all five of the suspects face trial on more serious hijacking and murder charges at a later date.
Judge Carlo Maria Napoli handed down the sentences after two hours and 20 minutes of deliberation in the one-day trial. The hijackers sat handcuffed during the trial behind the bars of three steel cages in a heavily guarded courtroom.
After Napoli read the sentences, three of the five suspects raised their arms in a victory salute and sang, "We will defend our Palestine with our blood and our souls."
Four of the suspects were arrested when U.S. jetfighters forced an Egyptian plane carrying them from Egypt to land in Sicily. A fifth was arrested before he could board the ship.
