SUMMARY OF
INFORMATION
The hostages
in
Iraq
will
soon
be released
in
the November
time
frame.
Baghdad
is
ready and willing
to negotiate
for
their
release.
Although
the hostages
are
in
fear and they don't
know
what
to expect
of
their
fate,
Iraqi
intentions
at
this
time
are
for
their
release.
Some
of
the hostages are being
kept
in
a
long,
narrow,
thiok
building
with
a
long walk
way.
This seems
to be some
type
of
memorial
or museum or embassy.
The jjmtside
walls of this building
may be
made
of white brick.
There
fj1 ags outside
or near
this
structure.
Another structure
which
is housing hostages
is
tall
and
has
a
domed
roof.
This structure has
a main road
in front
of
it.
This
structure
is
a mosque
or church
or religious
building.
The domed
roof(^may be "yellow
in
color.
Although hostages may be
kept
in other structures
in
Kuwait,
these
two structures seem to
be housing
the
most.
The hostages
are
in
western Kuwait
and one
location
is
29 Degrees
15 Minutes North and
47 Degrees
25 Minutes
East and
a

related to the hostage
issue.
The concept of
a
"central

a fortress,” also appears pertinent.

a
place that
is predominantly green with
a number
of narrow
hallways and contains numerous objects which form walls
or
barriers.
This tunnel-like complex appears
to
be partially

Iraqi
intentions revolve around the release
of
the
hostages through negotiations.
A group
of hostages was perceived
as being kept
in
a
long,
narrow,
thick building with
a
long walk-
way.
The building
is reminiscent of
a memorial /museum/embassy.
The outside walls of
the building are made of white
brick.
A
second structure associated with the
of hostages,
appears to be
a
tall,
yellow,
building with a domed roof.
The building seems
to
be
a religious building,
a mosque
or
a church;
a main road
crosses the front
of
the building.
The hostages
located
in
Kuwait,
are
located
in the vicinity of geographical
