Jerusalem - - Israel suspended peace talks with the PLO in Cairo yesterday following the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier by the Hamas Islamic Resistance Movement. The Israeli army said it had sealed off the Gaza Strip.

Hamas said in a statement that they would kill the soldier unless the Israeli government met its demands to release its leaders who were being held prisoner by Friday evening. The announcement came two days after a Hamas attack in central Jerusalem in which two Israelis and two Hamas guerrillas were killed. Reuter
