...been killed. But the situation is worsening as the Shi'ite extremists step up their demands. The four Americans pictured in the terrorist photographs were: Terry Anderson, 37, Associated Press Beirut bureau chief; the Rev. Benjamin Weir, 60, a Presbyterian minister; the Rev. Lawrence Jenco, 50, a Roman Catholic priest; and U.S. Embassy Official William Buckley, 56, who was abducted on March 16, 1984, making him the longest-held American captive.

...Warsaw 7,000 Solidarity supporters gathered outside the church of St. Stanislaw Kostka, where Father Jerzy Popieluszko, the priest murdered last year by security police, once preached and now lies buried.
