Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli businessman Elhanan Tannenbaum, who was taken hostage by Hezbollah in 2000 and released in 2004 in a swap, has died at age 78.
Tannenbaum was captured by the terror group after being lured to Dubai in October 2000 for an ostensible drug deal. He was freed in exchange for some 400 prisoners held by Israel.
He was later investigated for his conduct, but eventually was not charged under a plea bargain.
