In a satchel which Carlos had left with a friend in London's Bayswater, they found a passport and a photograph, along with a list of 500 prominent names apparently targeted for kidnaping or assassination, including Playwright John Osborne, his actress wife Jill Bennett and Violinist Yehudi Menuhin.
