SESSION SUMMARY:
,
,
The document seemed to be discussing
an activity that takes
place
outdoors
and
that
seems
to
be
enjoyable
to
people
of
all
ages.
The
activity
seems
to
have
several
objects
or
an
object
associated with
it.
One object
is circular and another object
is
long and slender or the object is ciruclar and long and slender.
The ciruclar object could be in the air sometimes.
Sometimes
it looked as though
I was seeing a vehicle.
The word "play"
came to mind.
The word "shiny/ shining" came to mind.

Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000400020001-5 pec a “EEE Bil canner Ere ty Riess Then There Were Nine he white United Nations station wagon headed south on the coastal highway from the Lebanese town of Tyre. Suddenly, near the village of Ras el-Ein, a brown Volvo blocked the road. Gunmen leaped from the car and dragged out the station wagon’s lone passenger: U.S. Marine Lieut. Colonel William Higgins, 43, the leader of a 76-man observer group attached to the ULN. Interim Force. The attackers forced him into the Volvo and sped off. That abduction last week brought to nine the number of American hostages in Lebanon. Two days later the so-called Orga- nization of the Oppressed on Earth de- livered to a Western news agency a statement typed in Arabic declaring its responsibility for the abduction. En- TIME. FEBRUARY 29, 1988 closed were snapshots of two of Hig- gins’ identity cards. The statement read: “We have caught the throat of the American serpent, criminal agent of the satanic CIA and one of the big- gest spies, sowing daily terror in our land.” Mindful that an earlier hostage, CIA Station Chief William Buckley, had been tortured to death by his abductors, the State Department de- nied any links between the kidnaped colonel and the U:S. intelligence services. . At the time of his capture Higgins, a native of Kentucky and a former aide to ex—U.S. Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, was returning from a meeting with a local leader of the Shi‘ile Amal militia. The incident was a major embarrassment for Amal Leader Nabih Berri, Lebanon’s Justice Minister. Amal, along with U.N. peacekeeping forces, immediately Jaunched a manhunt for Higgins and = his abductors.

Washington Post Foreign Service
BEIRUT,
June 15—A
Belgian
physician taken hostage over a year
ago in southern Lebanon was freed
unharmed
in Sidon
this afternoon
and
taken
to Damascus amid
re-
ports that Belgium may have struck
a
deal
by
promising
to
unfreeze
trade contracts with Libya.
Jan Cools,
32, a general practi-
tioner
working
for
Norwac,
the
Norwegian
Aid
Committee,
was
seized
at
gunpoint
on
May
21,
1988, after leaving the Rashidiyeh
Palestinian refugee camp in south-
ern Lebanon.
Members
of the Fatah
Revolu-
tionary Council, a radical Palestin-
ian group led by Abu
Nidal, were
instrumental in his release despite
repeated denials they were involved
in his abduction. An obscure group
calling itself Soldiers of the Truth
announced yesterday that it would
free him in response to an appeal by
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
Cools, who told reporters he was
treated reasonably well by his cap-
tors,
specifically
thanked
Gadhafi
for helping gain his release.
Belgian Foreign Trade Minister
Robert
Urbain
traveled
to
Sidon
with Belgian diplomats based here
to receive the released hostage
at
the home of Mustafa Saad, a leading
Sidon Sunni Moslem politician.
Belgian
Foreign
Minister
Leo
Tindemans,
apparently
circum-
vented
in the negotiations leading
to
the
alleged
Libyan-Belgian
rangement, suggested
in
Brussels,
that
Urbain may have
reached
a
deal with Gadhafi that would violate
sanctions
imposed
aainst
Libya
three years ago by the European
Community.
Last
March,
Tinde-
mans had gone to Syria but failed to
secure Cools’ freedom.
Urbain flew to Damascus, Syria,
today
after
being
telephoned
in
Brussels by the Libyans and then
went to Lebanon to meet Cools, a
Foreign Trade Ministry spokesman
said in Tripoli, Libya.
Cools, center, hugs a friend after his release as Belgian official wipes tears.
In an interview today in the daily
La Libre Belgique, Tindemans said
Urbain went to Libya “without any
mandate
by
the
Belgian
govern-
ment on the question of hostages
and without consulting me.”
Reporters who saw Cools said he
appeared fresh and well-fed when
he arrived to a tearful reunion with
friends and an emotional embrace
with the trade minister. Cools’ par-
ents flew to Damascus to meet him
,
A spokesman for Urbain said that
in
Tripoli,
Gadhafi had expressed
wishes for boosting trade links with
Belgium and had pledged to consid-
er
the
issue
of Belgian hostages
held in the Middle East, Reuter re-
ported from Brussels.
The spokesman added
that Ur-
bain promised to unfreeze Belgian
contracts in Libya worth $60 mil-
lion that had been delayed for “tech-
nical reasons.”
