They were moved to islands just a few minutes’ boat ride from town, where they havelived in tents near areas frequented by fishermen, hikers and picnickers. have been frequently spotted “i the tiny towns of Craig an Klawock, where the tribal cont pronounced its sentence. Guthrie was in Craig this summerto take his driver's test and transfer ownership of a Ford Mustang from his mother's name to his own. Klawock's police chief said he saw Roberts strolling down thestreet one day. A Tlingit woman who would not give her namesaid she has seen the youths riding the ferries between southeast Alaska towns.

A7 Kashmiri Rebels Extend Hostage Deadline Crities say Guthrie and Roberts THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SRINAGAR, India — A Kashmiri separatist group holding an American and three other Westerners hostage extendedits Saturday deadline for killing the captives. Butin a statement to a local newspaper,the AlFaran group warned the Indian governmentnotto waste any more time and to free 15 of its jailed membersin exchange for the captives’ freedom The statementdid not set a new deadline. On Friday, the kidnappers warnedthat they would execute the hostages if the governmentdid not free 15 imprisoned rebels by Saturday evening. They have already decapitated a Norwegian hostage. “Weare extending the deadline on the appealof the relatives of the hostages,” said the statement to the Al-Sfa newspaper. “We advise the Indian government not to waste any more time and meet our demand and we want to makeit clear that the responsibility for the hostages safety is now with the Indian government.” Jammu-Kashmir government's spokesman Kulbhusan Jandial said he has no information on the new deadline and had not seen the statement “We can, however, hope that good sense will prevail on the kidnappers and noharm will cometo the hostages,” Jandial said The Al-Faran group kidnapped six Westernersin the Himalayan mountains of Jammu-Kashmirstate more than two months ago. An American, John Childs, escaped soon after being captured. The rebels killed a Norwegian, Hans Christian Ostro, and dumped his body near a roadside canal Aug.13. The four hostages still being held are Donald Hutchings, 42, of Spokane, Wash.; Keith Mangan, 33, of Middlesbrough, England: Paul Welis, 23, of London; and Dirk Hasert, 26, of Erfurt, Germany Militants in Kashmir, the only Muslim-majority state in mainly Hindu India, have been fighting for independencesince late 1989.

At first, when we had them way out by themselves, you could see a definite improvement in those boys. Butthen their families came in and got their hands on them, and they quit being dependent on themselves.” Roberts and Guthrie pleaded guilty in May 1994 to assaulting the deliveryman with a baseball bat during a robbery the previous year.
