Gazans stage soccer protest at Shalit's Barcelona visit

Palestinians freed from Israeli jails held their own version of the Barcelona-Real Madrid soccer match on Sunday to protest at the presence of a former captive Israeli soldier at the actual fixture.

 

The five-a-side kick-about in Gaza comprised mostly of Palestinian ex-prisoners that Israel swapped for Gilad Shalit. He was abducted by Gaza terrorists in a cross-border raid in 2006 and they held him for over five years. (Reuters)
