May I remind our readers who this is in the picture with the U.S. hostages.

Does look an awful lot like him.

That said, it is true that he was a member of the student movement ultimately responsible for the kidnappings, etc.; September 27, 2007 at 6:07 PM

Yes, the resemblance is striking. Who is that circled man?; September 27, 2007 at 10:30 PM
