The World - News from April 18, 1988

Shortly before he disappeared in Lebanon, kidnaped Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite received a warning in Latin and English from the British consul that he might be in danger, the London Sunday Express reported. The newspaper published what it said were partial transcripts of Waite’s last telephone conversations taken from recordings it said were smuggled out of Beirut by two Lebanese who now fear “they will be targets.” In one conversation taped before Waite disappeared Jan. 20, 1987, British consul Frank Gallagher warned the Anglican hostage negotiator of increased danger for Westerners in Lebanon.
