1 Hostage Missing as Standoff Ends

Gunmen loyal to late Georgian leader Zviad Gamsakhurdia surrendered after a weeklong hostage drama, but the immediate whereabouts of the last of the U.N. prisoners was not immediately known. A Georgian official said 20 of the gunmen had given up. The group’s leader escaped with two comrades, he said, and the last of the U.N. hostages, Czech Lt. Col. Jaroslav Kulisek, was free, but his immediate whereabouts were not known. A U.N. official near the scene said he did not know if Kulisek was free or if he had been taken by the three kidnappers as they fled the farmhouse where they had been holed up.
