David Hirst the Middle East correspondent of the guardian told colleagues that he had broken free from three armed me who forced him into their car Friday. He gave the account after making his Way Backoo West Beirut. Later in a Telephone interview he said he did not know who the kidnappers were but that he thought they were local thugs rather than members of a political or religious organization. Hirst 58, one of the few Western re porters who still live and work in Beirut said his taxi had a Flat tire on a Road that had appeared deserted. When his escort took the tire to be repaired three armed men appeared blindfolded him forced him into their car and drove off with a pistol at his head. He said that when the car stopped he began to struggle and shout despite threats that he would be killed. He said he managed to open the door and fell into the Road then continued to struggle As the abductors tried to pus him into a building. He broke away and ran into an Alley.

They Are Frank Herbert Reed director of a privately owned school and Joseph James Cicippio comptroller forthe ame ican University Hospital. Last week a Clandestine group Dis closed that it had abducted a Frenchman identified As Marcel Coudry. Woj together nearly 20 foreign nationals i Are missing and Are believed in the custody of various underground organizations. They include five americans six frenchmen and two britons. Previous kidnappings Here for the most part have clearly been Well organized and have been planned with a specific victim in mind by groups often pro iranian that then have made political demands for the captives release. By contrast the attempt on Hirst who has been living and working Here for Al most 25 years was apparently of a ran Dom nature. Nevertheless it again underlined the danger for westerners who reside in the moslem part of the capital. Most of the 170 journalists and camera Imen who had made Beirut their Middle East base left in the Wake of a series of kidnappings that started three years ago
