I've Been Thinking:

At long last the pressure has had an effect on the Libyans and they have released the six prisoners they have been holding for so long.
The five Bulgarian nurses and the Palestinian doctor were all sent to Bulgaria.
Convicted of spreading the AIDS virus, they had all been sentenced to death.

It took years before the Libyans were persuaded to release these prisoners.
It took dozens of high level diplomatic meetings and conversations.
It took the skill of many and varied humanitarian intermediaries.

Of all the groups and all the people intervening on behalf of these prisoners, the most unusual representatives were from the Israeli intelligence organization, the Mossad.
According to a recent disclosure by one of the parties intimately familiar with and involved in the negotiations, the Mossad helped relax the parties and successfully pried opened important windows of communication.

Wonders will never cease.
