Description

RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- Israeli prison authorities on Tuesday unexpectedly moved jailed PFLP leader Ahmad Saadat from the Hadarim jail to Shatta prison, the Palestinian prisoners society said.

Saadat was seized by Israeli forces in 2006 from a Palestinian Authority jail in Jericho after a long standoff between prisoners and troops.

He was sentenced to 30 years for his alleged role in masterminding the assassination of former Israeli tourism minister Rahavam Zeevi in 2001.
