Makutinovich, as well as Soviet Interior Minister Boris Pugo, quickly condemned the massacre and denied responsibility. After a preliminary investigation, a reform group within the Soviet army suggested that the KGB had done the actual killing, - albeit with the complicity of OMON commanders. The KGB denied involvement...

Shared suffering did not make the cramped quarters any easier for them to bear. Anderson, a liberal Democrat, and another hostage, David Jacobsen, a conservative Republican, found that politics could make strained bedfellows. After his release, Jacobsen told a British newspaper, "I was chained for 19 months, night and day, with Terry Anderson, a bleeding-heart liberal. It was hell for me, and you can imagine what it was like for Terry Anderson...
