Iran and Syria
discuss hostages *
DAMASCUS, Syria ? A si
senior Iranian envoy discussed
efforts to free West- $
ern hostages, including eight h
Americans, held in Lebanon tl
when he met Sunday with p
Syria's foreign minister, an
informed source said.
The source said the meeting
between Mahmoud
Hashemi of Iran and Farouk
al-Sharaa of Syria "appears
to be to coordinate efforts
between the governments of
Syria and Iran to gain the release
of all the hostages"
held by pro-Iranian Shiite
Moslem militants in
Lebanon.
Most of the hostages, who
include eight Americans, are
believed to be held by Shiite
Moslem groups loyal to Iran.
Atlantis shuttle
completes mission
EDWARDS AIR FORCE
BASE, Calif. ? Space
shuttle Atlantis landed safely
on a California desert runway
Sunday, completing a
secret military mission that
included the launch of a
$500 million spy satellite.
Atlantis, carrying a crew
of five military men, plunged
through the Earth's atmosphere
and flashed over the
California coastline north of
Los Angeles. It touched
down at Edwards Air Force
base at 10:08 a.m. PST after
4.4 days in space.
A Pentagon-imposed
blackout blocked public announcement
of the mission
activities, and because of the
secret nature of the mission,
the landing was closed to the
general public. A few
hundred invited guests, however,
watched as the shuttle
landed.
