Last week, Breaking Israel News reported on how Al-Islam, a former Iranian ambassador to Syria and a hostage-taker of U.S. diplomats was one of the leaders of the students who took 52 U.S. diplomats at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran hostage in 1979, only releasing them after 444 days in captivity. He had studied at the University of California before the Islamic Revolution. As an English-speaker, he interrogated the American hostages.
