The Hanafi Hostage Siege

Available for over a year

In 1977 a group of American Muslim converts took more than 100 people hostage in Washington DC. They were held captive for more than three days and the siege only ended after ambassadors from Islamic countries helped negotiate with the gunmen. Simon Watts has been speaking to Paul Green, one of the hostages who was held at the Jewish B'nai B'rith centre.
