When the Swiss police arrived, shivering, pajama-clad Stoffel, pleading diplomatic privilege, refused to let them into the grounds. Floodlights were directed on the legation, and the area encircled with barbed wire. A hundred steel-helmeted police armed with rifles and submachine guns covered the house. Finally, at dawn, with Stoffel's permission, the police broke into the legation grounds. Following...
