NEW THREATS TO US HOSTAGES IN LEBANON

August 22, 1989

A pro-Iranian group that holds Joseph Cicippio and another American has threatened to kill the hostages if the French Navy intervenes in Lebanon. ``America, which is spurring France, should realize that any foolhardiness by the French fleet will expose the life of its hostages to danger,'' the Revolutionary Justice Organization, a Shiite Moslem group, said Sunday.
