Jericho prison attack 'unforgivable' - Abbas

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas yesterday toured the devastated Jericho prison where Israel spirited away six prisoners, denouncing the raid as an ”unforgivable crime".

Acting Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said that the six Palestinians, including Ahmed Saadat, leader of the radical Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, will face trial. “They will be indicted according to Israeli law and they will be punished as they deserve,” he said.
