Hamas letter to Clinton seeks release of detained official
Hamas demands the release of Abu Marzak, a 45 year old Hamas official arrested at Kennedy Airport on terrorism suspicions. The group says he has lived in the U S for 14 years with a permanent resident visa and sent a letter to President Clinton urging immediate release while Israel mulls extradition. Israel says it may seek extradition and White House officials report no talks with Hamas.
