An Israeli military court today sentenced Ahmed Saadat, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) to 30 years in jail, an Israeli military spokesman was quoted by dpa as saying. Saadat had previously been acquitted of arranging the murder of former Israeli minister Rehavim Zeevi, who was assassinated by PFLP militants in occupied Alquds hotel in 2001, and was jailed for being responsible for other attacks against Israel. Saadat has been in Israeli custody since 2006 and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly asked Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to release him.
