(28 Oct 1987) QUOTE REF LEBANON: Press conference by the leader of the Amal movement
SYND Nabih Berri. The first part of the conference, held in
11.11.87 Arabic, was on the economic crisis in the country and the
LN125612 boycott between the opposition and the Lebanese regime.
Berri continued in English, expressing regret that Beirut had
once more been the scene of a kidnapping. He confirmed that
a Korean diplomat had been freed 36 hours previously and that
Amal had contributed to protecting his voyage, but denied
that they had played a part in releasing him. Berri
expressed regret that a ransom of at least one million dollars
was paid to win the diplomat's release. He said that his
movement was opposed to kidnapping, and to paying ransoms.
