A picture of reporter Terry Anderson issued by his kidnappers, framed on both sides by the ruins of the US Embassy in Beirut, which was bombed in 1983. The illustration also has headlines from the New York Times, which read, 'Kidnapped in Beirut' in the top left corner, and 'Terry Anderson's Jailer is ... A Man Named Imad Mughniyeh' in the bottom right corner.
