Dr Aaron Lerner - IMRA: So much for the argument that if we had only
released Kuntar years ago that all our problem would have ended.

Hizbullah's deputy secretary-general, Sheikh Naim Kassem, would not rule out
on Saturday the abduction of more Israeli soldiers in order to achieve the
organization's goals.

"I won't speak about this issue, because it has to do with military activity
in the struggle with Israel and with the question of whether this
confrontation will demand such an action," Kassem said in an interview to
Qatari newspaper Al-Arab. "These are details which will become known in the
future. We no longer have a 'prisoner file' but one cannot say what future
developments will be."

Kassem added that Hizbullah was in a state of war with Israel, which he said
was still occupying the Shaba Farms, the village of Ghajar and the Kfar
Shuba hills. "Israel continues to infiltrate Lebanese airspace and thus
poses a real threat," he said.

The leader said that Hizbullah's prisoner exchange deal with Israel had
"opened the door" for the Palestinians to demand a high price for the
release of kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Schalit, who is being held by Hamas
in the Gaza Strip.

Kassem said Hizbullah had yet to exact revenge for the assassination of
military commander Imad Mughnyieh in February, and hinted that this would
happen when certain "circumstances" are right.
