Israeli Minister to visit imprisoned spy in Egypt

IRNA

Al-Khalil, Oct 12, IRNA -- An Israeli minister is to go to Cairo 
Sunday to visit convicted Israeli spy Azzam Azzam who is serving a 
15-year prison sentence for spying for the Zionist state. 
The Israeli media reported that Health Minister Danny Naveh would 
hand Azzam a letter from Zionist Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. 
Azzam, who has requested the visit, is reportedly trying to press 
the Zionist regime to include him in the prisoner swap with Hizbullah.
However, the Egyptian authorities have repeatedly refused to 
release Azzam. 
In 1996 Azzam was accused of gathering and sending information on 
Egypt to Israel using invisible ink on lingerie made in the Egyptian 
factory in which he worked.
