Glass in Libanon

Since my English is very poor I dont want to change the article. I just watched the German TV-News Tagesschau from 18th June 1987. There was an report about Charles Glass. It is said that he became famous for an report on the hijacking of an aeroplane by shiitic terrorists in 1985. On 18th June 1987 he was kidnapped near Beirut in Libanon. If I can get more information, I`ll put it here to the Talk-Page. Kris. --91.49.151.61 (talk) 14:25, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

According to Tagesschau from 20th June 1987 the syrian government demanded the immediate release of Charles Glass. Otherwise the syrian troops in West-Beirut would interfere. --91.49.151.61 (talk) 14:40, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Glass freed on 18th August 1987 (according to Tagesschau). Syrian secret service personnel brought him from a hotel in Beirut to Damaskus. In an interview he said: "I feel good and the only people that really sufferd were my wife and children." --91.49.187.232 (talk) 08:34, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
