"We warn the American and Israeli governments from carrying out any retaliation because they will pay dearly in Lebanon, Washington and the world, and the arm of our struggling can reach the violators."
The statement, typewritten in Arabic and delivered to An Nahar's offices in West Beirut, was accompanied by a Polaroid photograph of Buckley that the group said was taken shortly before his death.
The color photograph of Buckley showed him standing grim-faced, bearded and bespectacled, facing the camera against a blanket.
The statement from Islamic Jihad made no mention of the other American hostages.

to represent the Islamic Jihad said a deadline had been set for meeting the group's demands and announced the captives would hold a news conference. The news conference has not been held.
been here.
That statement from someone claiming to represent the Islamic Jihad came after the group freed the Rev. Benjamin Weir, 61, a Presbyterian minister and a native of Berkeley, Calif., who had lived in Lebanon for about 32 years.
Weir was released in West Beirut on Sept. 14 after almost 500 days in captivity.
He held a news conference Sept. 18 in Washington, where he said his captors had threatened to kill the remaining hostages or kidnap more Americans unless the Reagan administration met their demands.
KCC discusses Wolf Creek decision
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - Relief and satisfaction were two emotions that surfaced yesterday as three members of the Kansas Corporation Commission announced their decision to deny owners of the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant a profit on two-thirds of their $3.05 billion investment in the plant.
Over the next 30 years, the three utilities that own Wolf Creek — Kansas Gas and Electric Co. of Wichita, Kansas City Power & Light Co., and
At a news conference, the commissioners, Michael Lennen, chairman of the board that regulates utilities in the state, Margalee Wright and Keith Henley, said they were relieved to have completed the first step in the $508.9 million rate case.
the Kansas Electric Power Cooperative Inc. of Topeka - will break even on their investments.
However, they will not be allowed to earn an additional return on two-thirds of the total — $2.17 billion of the plant's cost. Of the remaining investment, the utility will earn an 11 percent rate of return.
Speaking for the first time about the factors weighed in reaching their decision, all three commissioners said they were satisfied with the results.
Lennen said he expected the utilities to file a request for a rehearing.
The commission declared 61.2 percent of KG&E's share of Wolf Creek as excess capacity — meaning it will not be allowed to earn a 10.9 percent return off that portion of the power
And KCPI will not be allowed to earn the 11.3 percent return on 58.9 percent of its share, which is excess capacity in the commission's view
plant.
That means only 38.8 percent of the power generated at Wolf Creek is needed by KG&E to meet its customer demands and 41.1 percent is needed by KCPL to meet its demands through 1990. KG&E and KCPL share majority ownership of Wolf Creek with 47 percent shares each. KEPCo owns the remaining 6 percent.
Here's how the order will affect specific rate increases;
KG&E asked for a $370.9 million rate hike spread over five years, or a 90 percent increase. The increase would have caused a 40 percent jump in rates for residential customers.
KGGE serves 240,000 customers in 100 southern Kansas towns.
The commission gave KG&E a $138.3 million rate hike. The rates will be plassed in over three years.
KCPL sought a $111 million spread over four years, representing a 64 percent increase to its 125,000 eastern Kansas rate payees. The commission decided on a $25.1 million rate increase for KCPL, or a 14.7 percent increase to be applied in one lump.
KEPCo, a non-profit organization of 25 rural electric co-ops which sells power on a wholesale basis and serves 96,500 Kansans, asked for a $27 million wholesale rate increase. The commission settled on a $21.8 million rate hike which will result in a 32.4 percent increase.

"Glass' music bridges the gap thought to be unbridgeable . . . intellectually rigorous and accessible, appealing to audiences that normally have little use for one another's music . . . a style that partakes self-consciously of classical, popular and ethnic traditions."
