¶1. (C) American nationals Bobbie Tyner, Shane McMorris, and
Richard Moore, four British nationals, one South African, one
Filipino, and one Nigerian remain hostages. TransCoastal
believes the 10 hostages have been divided into two groups;
one group of four and one group of six. According to
TransOcean, their kidnapped employee, Jeff Treen (Ref B),is
being held with the group of four TCO employees at a Joshua
McGuyver camp in Bayelsa State. On June 6, TCO
representatives said their emissary (Ref B) has been
negotiating the hostages' release with "The General."
