Police and federal authorities on
Friday released composite Sketches
of the robbers, which were based on
descriptions given by Union National
Bank President Ray Keck Jr and his
wife.
The couple was kidnapped during
the 5*-hour robbery Thursday that
netted cash from three Laredo banks,
police said.
"Anything that is pulled off is well
executed. Anytime you have anyone
who can escape within the first 24
hours, (it) is a good operation,"
Laredo Police Chief Victor A. Garcia
said Friday.
"That's not meaning that we won't
apprehend them. But it was well-
executed." Garcia said.
Garcia and other officials have
refused to release details of their in-
vestigation.
The gunmen surprised Keck and his
wife at their home early Thursday
morning, tied them up and waited for

Camouflaged plane
bring* home bodie*
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) - With
Manne sharpshooters poised on the
airport roof and American flags flying
at half-staff, a camouflaged U.S. Air
Force plane took off for Washington
today with the bodies of 16 Americans
killed in the U.S. Embassy bombing.
Pallbearers from the U.S. Marines,
the Army and the Navy marched
slowly, carrying the wooden flag-
draped coffins from hearses and am-
bulances to the C-141 cargo plane. One
Marine fainted under the hot morning
sun and another dropped his rifle.
There were no speeches and no rifle
salutes. The hushed silence was
broken only by the commands of of-
ficers.
The bodies of 17 Americans — 16
embassy staffers and a freelance
journalist - have been identified in
the car-bombing of the embassy last
Monday One staffer, whose name
was not disclosed, will be buried in
Lebanon at the family's request, the
