HEADLINE: UN to share info on kidnapped soldiers
BYLINE: Dalia Shehori
United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has promised President
Moshe Katsav that the world body will share with Israel any
information of a humanitarian nature about the captured Israeli
soldiers in Lebanon. Annan yesterday sent a letter of reply to
Katsav, who wrote him in August that the UN had not responded
adequately to the use of UN insignia by the Hezbollah terrorists who
captured the soldiers. Annan responded that this was illegal and in
contravention of the Geneva conventions. He said he had personally
raised the matter with the Lebanese president.
