IOF troops kidnap leader of Palestinian parliament



Ramallah – IOF troops, disguised in Arab clothes, helped by regular IOF troops surrounded, Saturday night, the house of Dr. Aziz Duwaik, speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), and kidnapped him from his home and took him to an unknown destination, according to his wife.His wife said that the IOF troops went into their house after kidnapping her husband and searched it thoroughly confiscating two computers and paper documents from the house.IOF troops had kidnapped at the end of last June about 20 Palestinian Lawmakers and ministers in response to the capture of an Israeli soldier in a military operation by three Palestinian resistance groups.Dr. Duwaik and a number of ministers managed to escape the wave kidnappings at the time by going into hiding and taking care when making public appearances.The deputy speaker condemned the kidnapping and called on parliamentarians around the world to pressure Israel to release all the kidnapped Palestinian lawmakers and ministers.
