A member of Saudi Arabia's royal family has increased to $1m a reward offered by a Saudi cleric to anyone who captures an Israeli soldier to swap him for Palestinian prisoners.
Prince Khaled bin Talal, brother of billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, told the kingdom's al-Daleel TV station by telephone on Saturday that he was raising a previous offer made by Sheik Awadh al-Qarni, a prominent Saudi cleric who promised $100,000 for the capture of an Israeli soldier.
"I tell Sheik al-Qarni that I support you and I will pay $900,000 to make it $1m to capture an Israeli soldier to release other prisoners," said a voice identified as Prince Khaled, who holds no official position in the government.
