Israeli nabbed in Abu Dhabi
JERUSALEM

An Israeli businessman held by Lebanese Hizbullah guerrillas and key to a proposed prisoner swap was kidnapped on an illicit trip to Abu Dhabi and then taken to Lebanon, Israeli security sources said.

The revelations followed an Israeli Supreme Court ruling against an appeal by businessman Elhanan Tannenbaum's family to keep details of his abduction in late 2000 under wraps.

The family fears publication could jeopardise Israeli efforts to secure the return of Tannenbaum, 57, and the bodies of three soldiers ambushed by Hizbullah in exchange for freeing several hundred Arab prisoners held in Israel. The security sources said Tannenbaum went to the capital of the UAE – which does not have diplomatic ties or a peace treaty with Israel – to pursue private deals of an unknown nature.
