UN Chief Meets Kin of Israeli Soldiers
[AP/Washington Post] Edith M. Lederer - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon met relatives of two Israeli soldiers seized by Hizbullah at the start of last year's Lebanon war on Tuesday and promised he will keep working hard to seek their release. Ban told the wife and parents of Ehud Goldwasser and the brother of Eldad Regev that he has been working with a secret "facilitator" to help win the soldiers' release, UN deputy spokeswoman Marie Okabe said. Hizbullah has not released any details on the condition of the soldiers or provided any sign they are still alive since they seized the pair in a July 12 cross-border raid. Goldwasser's wife called on Hizbullah to allow the Red Cross to visit the soldiers.
