Hamas captive may be 'bargaining chip' says Israeli minister
 A Hamas militant seized by Israel in the Gaza Strip last week could be a bargaining chip in any prisoner exchange deal for a missing Israeli soldier, an Israeli minister said on Monday. Yes, of course, Public Security Minister Avi Dichter told Army Radio when asked whether Mhawesh al-Qadi, could be used as a bargaining chip in efforts to free soldier Gilad Shalit from Hamas captors in Gaza. Al-Qadi was seized on Friday by Israeli troops posing as as members of Hamas Executive Force security wing. In the end, terrorists will be released to the Palestinian Authority or to Hamas in Gaza in return for the release of Gilad Shalit, Dichter said.
