The Daily Telegraph reports that Britain’s in the middle of a row between Hamas and Israel. Seems that Hamas chief Khalid Mashaal wants to free Ahmed Saadat (pictured) from a prison supervised by UK monitors. Saadat, who heads the PFLP, ordered the assassination of Israeli cabinet minister Rehavam Zeevi in 2001 and was jailed under US and UK supervision near Jericho. AP quoted Mashaal saying:
“We will not accept that Ahmed Saadat or any of our young men of any faction be in the Jericho prison. It is impossible at these times that Palestinians be jailed in a Palestinian jail under American-British protection. This is over,” he said.
