Olmert: 'Jerico Jail' six will go on trial

Acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said today that six Palestinians grabbed from a West Bank prison will be charged and tried by Israel, despite Palestinian claims that the arrests were illegal.

Israel says five of the men seized in the day-long raid in Jericho yesterday were involved in the 2001 assassination of Israeli tourism minister Rehavam Zeevi. The sixth is the suspected financier of an illegal weapons shipment to the Palestinian Authority several years ago.
