...caller also insisted on the release of West German Terrorist Knut Folkerts from a Maastricht prison cell in southern Holland. Police speculated that Caransa's captors might belong to the same gang of anarchists that kidnaped West German Industrialist Hanns-Mar-tin Schleyer in early September. Schley-er's body was found in the trunk of a car in Mulhouse, France, not far from the German border two weeks ago, shortly after West German commandos staged their daring rescue raid on a skyjacked Lufthansa jet in Mogadishu, Somalia (TIME cover...
