(AP) — Authorities Sunday investigated the shooting of the first woman FBI agent to die on duty, as the FBI declined com ment on a city police report that she was mistakenly shot by two fellow agents. Special Agent Robin Ahrens, 33. died early Saturday after being shot in the hand, arm and eye late Friday as about a dozen FBI agents ar rested a robbery suspect at an apartment complex. Phoenix Police Chief Ruben Ortuga said Ahrens was shot by two agents who mistook her for the robbery suspect's girlfriend. Ahrens's death will be explained at a news conference that probably will be held Thursday, said FBI agent Kerb Hawkins. "We know what happened." Hawkins said, adding that a bureau investigation is expected to be finished Tuesday. "1 just am not permitted to tell you what happened until this inquiry is over.” Ahrens, a native of St. Paul. Minn., joined the FBI in November 1984 and was sent to Phoenix as her first assignment. A funeral for her was set for Wednesday in Hudson, W1s., where her parents live, said Hawkins. She was the first female agent to die on the job since women joined the FBI in 1972. FBI spokesman jack Smythe said Saturday he "cannot comment and will not” comment on whether Ahrens was shot by her other agents un til an investigation was completed. A statement released by Hawkins on Sunday New demands stated < BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — A caller saying he represented the extremist group holding three Soviet Embassy personnel hostage said Sunday they would not be freed until the Soviet Union and America end {.ebanon's 10-year-old civil war. The anonymous caller told a Western news agency that the group holding the Soviets, the Islamic Liberation Organization, also appealed to another terrorist organization not to free the American and French hostages that it kidnapped. Guerrillas of the Islamic Liberation Organiza tion. a Moslem fundamentalist group, kidnapped three Soviet diplomats and a Soviet Embassy doc* tor Sept. 29 and the body of one, Cultural Attache Arcady Katkov, was found Wednesday in a West Beirut suburb. He had been shot in the head. In its initial report of the abductions, the Islamic Liberation Organization throated to kill all four Soviet hostages unless Syrian-backed militias halted their offensive against the Moslem fundamentalist Tawheed militia in the northern port city of Tripoli. But the caller said the Islamic Liberation Organization would not free the Soviets even though a ceasefire took effect Sunday in Tripoli, with Syrian troops moving into the city and disar ming the rival militiamen after three weeks of fierce fighting. “The heretics think they can invest this truce to deceive us into releasing the hostages." the caller said in Arabic. "We emphasize that this (kidnap) operation will not end that easiliy and it will not be the last. We shall not release the hostages. "Therefore, we appeal to our brothers and comrades of Jihad Islami (Islamic Holy War) to in tensify operations against the Soviets and Americans alike and plead with them not to release the hostages they hold.” morning said the FBI investigation was continu ing, and police Sgt. Tony Krucxynski said a city investigation also was under way. "We’ve still got detectives working on it now," Kruc/.ynski said.
