Saadat surrenders-Palestinian officials

JERICHO, West Bank, Mar 14 (Reuters) Palestinian militant leader Ahmed Saadat today surrendered to Israeli forces after they raided a West Bank prison where he was being held, Palestinian security officials said.

Saadat, accused by Israel of involvement in the 2001 killing of an Israeli cabinet minister, was among a group of prisoners who walked out of Jericho jail with their hands up after a day-long siege, the officials said.
