The international committee of the Red Cross said here Monday that it is taking all measures possible to try and get the permission for its delegates in Lebanon to visit the six Israeli POWS who are held by the Palestine Liberation Organization.
They were last visited by the ICRC delegates in March. The ICRC does not know where they are being held. Circles close to the ICRC say that the fact that the PLO is engaged in internal feuds does not make the ICRC effort easier.
