However, I have absolutely no doubts in my mind that our ministry of foreign affairs is doing what must be done. We must remember the fact that in such matters quiet diplomacy pusuasion and negotiation are the norm, you can't go public with every move. You are dealing with a bunch of thugs, a gang and there normally are hardly any defined hierarchies and chain of commands. Still, I am confident that our government will prevail upon these gangsters and our representative will be soon released. Way back in late 1970s during President Carter's era, there was an incident when all of the U.S. Embassy staff was taken hostage in Tehran and it took them 444 days to negotiate their release.
