Former Italian Intelligence Service head Nikolo Pollari has announced that he has information regarding the welfare of kidnapped IDF soldiers Eldad Regev, Ehud Goldwasser, and Gilad Shalit. Pollari said that he also has information on the reasons that the soldiers have not yet been released.
Pollari explained that he would need permission from an official investigative committee in order to release intelligence information. With permission, he said, he could tell the public about “the activities of UNIFIL soldiers in Lebanon, the responsibility for the slaughter of children, the lack of release of IDF soldiers from the hands of Hizbullah and the Palestinian factions, and the story of Italian hostages.”
