SEATTLE (AP) ? An
aborted military effort to
rescue the 52 U.S. hostages
in Iran was too late to have
any chance of success, one of
the freed Americans says.
William Belk, a State

Friday from his temporary
quarters in Wiesdaben, West
Germany, that by the time
the April 24, 1980, rescue
mission went awry in the
desert, the captives were
being shuffled in and out of
the U.S. Embassy compound
in Tehran.
