Jane Schelly (L) wife of American hostage Donald Hutchings ties a thread as a Kashmiri Moslem worshipper looks on at the tomb of a sufi saint in Srinagar July 4. Jane visited the holy shrine of Sutan-ul-arfeen on Sunday on the fourth hostage anniversary of her husband and made a fresh appeal for information about the fate of her husband. On July 4, 1995, Americans Donald Hutchings, John Childs and Britions Paul Wells and Keith Mangan were kidnapped by militant outfit Al-Faran while trekking in the Himalays near Anantnag. Four days later the captors abducted German Dirk Hasert and Norwegian Hans Christan Ostro. John Childs escaped from the capitivity and Hans Christan Ostro was beheaded while as the fate of four others is still unknown. DL
