At 1300hrs a BBC news bulletin announced that the meeting between COBR and the Arab ambassadors was still under way – in fact, no such meeting took place – and that no final decision about who would mediate had yet been reached. Oan, outraged at this news, picked up the telephone that put him into immediate contact with the police negotiator. He was in deadly earnest now: ‘You have run out of time. There will be no more talking. Bring the ambassador to the phone or I will kill a hostage in forty-five minutes.’ For the next 40 minutes Alpha Control heard no further word from the gunmen. Then, at 1340hrs, the telephone buzzer sounded, whereupon the negotiator answered it with a calm voice. ‘Hello, it’s Stuart here.’ Lock then spoke. ‘Stuart, they have a hostage and they are going to kill him. They have him at the bottom of the stairs. Something terrible is going to happen. They are tying his hands behind his back. They are tying him to the banister.’ Oan then came on the line with a threatening tone: ‘If you don’t accept my demand, I will shoot him.’ The police negotiator urged him not to take any action that was ‘counterproductive’. Oan would have none of it. ‘I told you, I have waited long enough. You have deceived me. Someone will die.’
