Hamas boycotts Barcelona over Schalit tickets
None
Hamas is launching a media boycott of Barcelona after reports the Spanish league leader gave a complimentary ticket for an upcoming match to an Israeli soldier formerly held captive by militants in the Gaza Strip.
A Barcelona spokesman confirmed the team had given the ticket to Gilad Shalit, who was captured by Gaza militants in June 2006 and returned home last October under an Israel-Palestinian deal on prisoner exchange. (AP)
