Hamas wants 1 for 1,000 prisoner swap

GAZA, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- The chief political strategist for the Palestinian Hamas party said an abducted Israeli soldier won't be released until Israel frees 1,000 prisoners.

In an interview with London's al-Hayat newspaper, Khaled Mashaal said he had not ordered the abduction of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in a June 25 Hamas border raid and suggested it had been an impromptu act, which he praised.

First it wasn't me who took the decision to kidnap the soldier and I had no previous knowledge. Second, I don't think that those who carried out this heroic operation, which I am proud of, should have regrets," he said.

Ynetnews said Mashaal blamed Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert for dragging out negotiations over Shalit's release.

"The main drive is to secure the release of the largest possible number of female and male Palestinian and Arab prisoners," he said. "We demand the release of 1,000 prisoners, women and children. The issue of prisoners is a sensitive, humanitarian and political issue."

A man has pleaded guilty to conspiring to murder people in terrorist campaigns in Britain and the US.

Dhiren Barot, of north London, planned to use a radioactive "dirty bomb" in one of a series of attacks in the UK, Woolwich Crown Court has heard.

He intended to cause "injury, fear, terror and chaos", the court was told.

Barot also plotted to carry out explosions in US cities that were "designed to kill as many innocent people as possible".
