LEBANON-TWA-US HOSTAGES

Four out of the five US hostages from hijacked TWA Boeing 727 aircraft are presented by Si'ite Amal militia to the international press 20 June 1985 at Beirut airport. From left: Arthur Toga, Peter Hell, Thomas Cullins and Allyn Conwell, the spokesman of hostages. Seated between Cullins and Conwell, Ali Hamdan, an official of Amal. The Lebanese Shi'ite Moslem gunmen, reputedly members of Hezbollah (the Party of God), hijacked the TWA jetliner 14 June 1985 with 193 people on board, after taking off from Athens to Rome. After twice flying to Beirut and Algiers, and releasing more than 100 hostages, the hijackers landed for the third time in Beirut. They demanded the release of over 700 prisoners, mostly Shi'ites, from Israeli jails and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Southern Lebanon. After they killed a young US Marine 15 June and released five hostages, the terrorists freed all passengers 30 June. Americans were then driven in a Red Cross convoy to Damascus before flying to a US base in West Germany. (Photo by JOEL ROBINE / AFP) (Photo by JOEL ROBINE/AFP via Getty Images)
