Not All Israeli Hostages Are Being Held by Hamas
(New York Times) Maria Abi-Habib - Osama Hamdan, a member of Hamas' political bureau in Lebanon, said Thursday that not all of the Israeli hostages who were taken to Gaza are being held by his group, a claim that will most likely complicate negotiations for their release. He said other groups, specifically Palestinian Islamic Jihad, is also holding some of the hostages. A spokesman for Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Musab Al-Breim, said that the group had around "30 prisoners."
