JERUSALEM, April 3 (UPI) - Israel has dropped (Thursday) its long-
standing request to have a senior leader of the radical Hamas Islamic
Resistance Movement extradited from the United States. The prime
minister's office says the decision to leave Mousa Abu Marzouk in the U.
S. ``was made on the basis of considerations relating to security and
the prevention of terrorism.''
