what midwest city was terry waite abducted from in 1987?

Answer 1

I don't know what midwest city you'd be thinking about...

Terry Waite was seized by Islamic Jihad from a go-between's house in Lebanon on January 20, 1987. He, himself was a hostage negotiator. He was abducted and held captive by Islamic fundamentalists for 1,763 days.

quotes by Terry Waite...

"Freeing hostages is like putting up a stage set, which you do with the captors, agreeing on each piece as you slowly put it together; then you leave an exit through which both the captor and the captive can walk with sincerity and dignity."

"The terrible thing about terrorism is that ultimately it destroys those who practice it. Slowly but surely, as they try to extinguish life in others, the light within them dies."

Answer 2

It was in or near Beirut. I did not know he had also been abducted in the Midwest! I won't go there again.
