Libya says Palestinians freed in deal for Israeli
None
The son of Libya's leader says part of a deal to free a jailed Israeli photographer involved the release of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Seif al-Islam Gadhafi told reporters Thursday that the Israeli-Tunisian dual national was not a spy. He also corroborated the man's story that he was in the country to photograph heritage sites connected with Libya's vanished Jewish community.
Gadhafi would not say how many Palestinians were released as part of the deal for Rafael Rafram Chaddad, who was freed Sunday after five months in jail. On Monday, Israeli officials said the deal involved delivery of 20 prefabricated homes from a Libyan charity to Gaza. Israel's foreign minister has refused to say what promises were made to Libya.
