...served local rebels as both sanctuary and symbol. The determined Mujahedin guerrillas have been nurtured by grain from its verdant hills, water from its mountain streams and shelter within caves in the shadow of its snow-capped peaks. Above all, the 70-mile-long valley has been the hideout and headquarters of Ahmad Shah Massoud, the charismatic 30-year-old Mujahedin leader who has united more than 5,000 squabbling resistance fighters under his shrewd and well-organized leadership...
...government leaders, fully 70% of Khomeini's top brass. But although they have scored relatively few victories recently, the guerrillas are by no means ready to accept defeat. "We are dealing with Khomeini in our own way," Mujahedin National Commander Ali Zarkesh, 34, said in his Tehran hideout to an Iranian journalist. (The group's overall leader, Massoud Rajavi, is in exile in Paris.) "We are slowly suffocating his regime, spreading a creeping paralysis throughout his military-police apparatus."

The cops were reluctant, however, to endanger the victims' lives by storming the building. When the missing men had failed to appear two days after the ransom's delivery, the authorities finally resolved to seize the suspects and raid the unguarded warehouse...
...conspiracy and bungled planning: Lin never died in the plane crash in Mongolia. He and his wife were murdered on Mao's orders. The executions took place, in Yao's version, after a dinner of sea cucumbers and tiger's tendons at a secret military hideout reserved for China's top leaders outside Peking. Mao knew about Lin's plot almost from the beginning, and, with the help of Premier Chou Enlai, deliberately chose to kill Lin at the very spot Lin had selected for his own coup...
