Philo Dibble, Diplomat and Iran Expert, Dies at 60
OCT. 13, 2011
Philo Dibble, a career Foreign Service officer who played a central role in the release of two American hikers who had been held in an Iranian prison for more than two years, died at his home in McLean, Va., on Oct. 1, 10 days after the hikers were freed. He was 60.
The cause was a heart attack, said his wife, Elizabeth Link Dibble, who is also a State Department official. Both worked in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, where he was deputy assistant secretary of state for Iran and she is the bureau’s principal deputy secretary.
…Philo Louis Dibble was born on Sept. 10, 1951, in Egypt, where his father, Philo Tolman Dibble, was an American diplomat.
