ALT1:... that chief negotiator Max Vernon thought he was close to a peaceful resolution of the Iranian Embassy siege before a hostage angered the gunmen? "He believed he came close to persuading Salim to surrender, but from the outset one of the captured Iranian diplomats, Abbas Lavasani, the press attaché, 'wanted to be a martyr, and he upset [the gunmen] every day. He scrawled insults on the wall and called them every name under the sun'. On day six the terrorists shot Lavasani and dumped his body outside.
