Hizbullah says Israeli soldiers won't be freed unconditionally

A Hizbullah Cabinet minister said Wednesday that the guerrilla group would not release two captured Israeli soldiers unconditionally, and that they would only be freed in a prisoner exchange.

"There will be no unconditional release. This is not possible," Minister of Energy and Hydraulic Resources

Mohammed Fneish told reporters in Beirut. He is one of two Hizbullah members in Lebanon's Cabinet.

"There should be an exchange through indirect negotiations. This is the principle to which Hizbullah and

the resistance are adhering," he said. (AP)
