Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite held secret talks with a senior Kuwaiti envoy in Geneva, a United Arab Emirates newspaper reported. The Sharjah-based daily Al Khaleej said the talks dealt with Waite’s efforts to free four American hostages in Lebanon, whose captors are demanding the release of 17 men jailed in Kuwait for bombings in 1983. It did not name the Kuwaiti envoy. A spokeswoman for Waite said he will return to Beirut today but declined to give any further details of his movements or his negotiations.
