News on kidnapping two Israeli soldiers

The Palestinian radio said yesterday that two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped near Ma'ale Adomin settlement in the West Bank. The Israeli army did not confirm the news, but its forces enhanced security checkpoints in the area and started a large scale inspection campaign.

Sawt Philistine ( Voice of Palestine) radio explained that al-Aqsa groups kidnapped one Israeli officer and one soldier. This was in a telephone call it received from an unidentified man who promised to fax pictures and identity of the two kidnapped Israelis and when he did not do so the Palestinian radio abstained from broadcasting the news and this raised doubts in the credibility of the news.
