LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- Broadcast journalist Ted Koppel says he was aware of the events portrayed in the film "Argo" as they were unfolding in Iran in 1979, but kept the story quiet.
Koppel told The Hollywood Reporter he was serving as diplomatic correspondent for ABC News when Iranian revolutionaries raided the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 American hostages.
