Syria threatens to kidnap troops

From JPost, Aug. 30, 2006 23:10, by ASSOCIATED PRESS ...

A previously unknown group threatened Wednesday to abduct Israeli soldiers to swap them for Syrian prisoners in Israel. In a statement faxed to foreign news agencies in Damascus, a group calling itself the Men of the National Syrian Resistance threatened to "take the necessary measures" to secure the release of 16 Syrians jailed in Israel. It listed the names of four men it said have been detained in Israel for 22 years. The group said ..."The continuing detention of our comrades makes us exert all-out efforts to secure their release...The Lebanese model, the model of Hizbullah, is not so far from us concerning implementation and preparations to release our detainees."
