Hamas Founder
To Be Freed?
Jerusalem (JTA) — A day after
Israeli officials recovered a body
believed to be that of an Israeli
soldier kidnapped and killed by
Hamas seven years ago, Defense
Minister Yitzhak Mordechai said
he would consider freeing the
fundamentalist movement's
founder, Sheik Ahmed Yassin.
Mr. Mordechai said, however,
that freeing Sheik Yassin would
not be connected to the return of
the remains of Ban Sa'adon.
'e have a lot of military and
security subjects on our table, and
we are dealing .with that," Mr.
Mordechai told reporters after ap-
pearing before the Knesset For-
eign Affairs and Defense
Committee.
"This will be addressed only
when the security establishment
deems appropriate." -
Israeli and Palestinian officials
agreed that it was information
provided by the Palestinian self-
rule authority that directed Is-
raeli searchers to a section of road
along Israel's southern coast.
But Israeli leaders have denied
that the information was given as
part of any exchange for Sheik
' Yassin, who was jailed for life in
1989, or for the bodies of llamas
terrorists in its possession.
Sa'adon was kidnapped while
hitchhiking home May 3, 1989,
by two llamas terrorists posing
as religious Jews. Israeli author-
ities later found the abandoned
car, which was stained with
Sa'adon's blood.
Israeli workers seeking addi-
tional continued to dig
near Palmahim, located along the
Israeli coast. .
" Bones already found were un-
dergoing identification checks
Sa'adon's mother, Jilbert, un-
derwent a blood test to help with
the identification process.
Bank Legislation
From The Swiss
New York (JTA) — A draft bill
that would allow for an expand-
ed Swiss government probe of
Holocaust-era JewiSh bank ac-
counts has been introduced into
Parliament there.
The move comes as a six-
member commission set up by
the the World Jewish Restitution
Organization, the World Jewish
Congress and the Swiss Bankers
Association is seeking to deter-
mine the whereabouts of money
deposited in Switzerland by Jews
during the World War II era.
The commission, which
named U.S. Federal Reserve
Board Chairman Paul Volcker
as its head, is also seeking to un-
cover looted Jewish assets that
were deposited into Nazi ac-
counts.
