BEIRUT — The Kuwaiti government denied Church of England trouble-shooter Terry Waite a visa to visit Kuwait for discussions on “matters relating to the fate of American hostages” being held in Lebanon, a Lebanese radio station said today.
The Christian Voice of Lebanon said Syria also had shown reluctance to receive Waite, who visited Beirut twice last month and met the Muslim gunmen who hold at least four American hostages. The kidnapers have been demanding freedom for 17 prisoners in Kuwait.
