Congressmen Urge Bush to Pressure Syria for Tannenbaum's Release
(Jerusalem Post) Congressmen from the House of Representatives Committee on International Relations are calling on US President George W. Bush to put pressure on Syria to help secure the release of Israeli businessman Elhanan Tannenbaum who is being held captive by Hizbullah. Tannenbaum, a retired colonel, was abducted while on a trip abroad in October 2000, a short time after the kidnapping of three IDF soldiers. Details of the congressmen's letter were unveiled as the Tannenbaum family marks his 57th birthday on Tuesday.
